CGiii Comment

Tuggle only directed 2 features - quite understandable after seeing this rather amateur and formulaic effort.

Apart from it being too dark, the dialogue is stilted - not unlike the acting.

Clint is definitely a better director than an actor - winning 2 Oscars for his efforts.

The only draw to this film is Eastwood - many would have left the theatre disappointed.
