Eastwood at this fuck it point of his life is working relentlessly, racing to preserve and perhaps restore American pride through a cinematic record. With a deep skepticism for authority and yet admiration for a sense of duty, he works in a space more timeless than the politics of the day (I remember a time when liberals were distrustful of intelligence institutions. we love em now wtf?) Sometimes regressive yet always empathetic.

Observe and Report did it better. Still an interesting piece on trying to find some importance in your drab, boring and impotent life. Gets a bit too sanctimonious about the evils of media or whatever (they’re ghouls but I don’t need the confrontation moment near the end where I’m supposed to jump out of my chair and cheer him in)

If you like your films about real-life injustices that get your blood boiling, this may kill you. It's a purposefully frustrating watch, as it digs into this media shitstorm, and even though there's nothing overly cinematic or special in how it does it, it at least avoids any sentimental time-wasting pitfalls (I'm looking at you Just Mercy).

Watch as a sleazy journalist prostitutes herself to a perverted adulterous government slimeball in order to assassinate the character of our gun-toting NRA card-carrying hero...and it's all Bill Clinton's fault! In Clint Eastwood's latest right-wing grievance porn. In real life, the entire total time from where his name hit the papers as a suspect to him getting cleared by the FBI was only EIGHT DAYS! The movie makes it feel like years.

It's uneven, and the plot could be trimmed, but the great performances and deft direction are hard to argue with. I don't let politics affect my opinion of movies, and I'm not doing it this time either, but I feel its message on the court of public opinion is timely.

Without a doubt Eastwood's funniest movie, Hauser is compelling and downright great. Rockwell does his usual riveting thing, my heart breaks for Bates, and Hamm nails his slime ball role. Wilde's narcissistic journalist gets to represent the entirety of media, which is unfair, and the portrayal of the FBI feels problematic. Throw all of that into a big stew and you end up with a feast of a movie. Eastwood delivers a winner.

I was impressed with this one and glad I finally saw it. Clint did a great job directing and the three leads were all outstanding. I was particularly entertained with Sam Rockwell, in his part.

A well made film from the foremost reactionary artist in the US. One of the strongest narratives or throughlines of US civil society - the boot licking of authority figures (police, FBI, presidency) even when they are trying to put you in the electric chair for treason. They can do this to a nobody like Richard Jewell, because he doesn't matter and his name was on a FBI corkboard. FBI can ruin a man's life because they had to find someone to blame for their ineptitude.

Clint Eastwood kötü film çekmiyor. Hiçbir aksiyon barındırmayan bir aksiyon filmi gibi, konu olarak çok iniş çıkışlar olmasa da Clint'in kendine özgü film anlayışıyla akıp gidiyor.

The acting here is awesome from Rockwell, Bates, Wilde, Hamm and Hauser, but the way the script is written pushes a whole lot of blame on one reporter while the rest of the media just seems to follow this one villain. It's weird, but otherwise it's very watchable and kind of heart-breaking.

Olivia Wilde's performance is terrrrrible. I don't know what she thought she was doing but she was just acting drunk. That it doesn't tank the movie is a credit to everyone else involved.

A great movie about the stupidest person ever to be falsely accused of a crime. How the feds could believe this imbecile could pull of this crime is beyond belief.

Very well performed by Hauser, Rockwell, and Bates. I appreciated the portrayal of institutions (law enforcement and media) missing the truth because they don't know the person. The cop and journalist were way overplayed, making it harder to relate to the blindness and faults of these people, blindnesses and faults we all often suffer from. In this, the film makes it too easy on the rest of us, and plays into the narrative that only law enforcement or media are the problem. We're all the problem

Seriously, this guy was pretty stupid for going along with a lot of the FBI schemes.. but OK. That said, I still think it was a pretty touching movie. This guy went through hell and back for doing something nice for society.

Clint Eastwood'dan gerçek 1 hayat hikayesi. Polis olmak isteyen Richard, Atlanta'da 1 konser sırasında içinde bomba olan çanta bulur. Olayda ölenler ve yaralananlar olunca, FBI bombayı güvenlik görevlisi Richard'ın koyduğu şüphelenir. Olay medyaya sıçrayınca tüm dünya Richard'ı tanır. İnanılmaz sakinlikte ilerleyen film, merak edici yönüyle çıldırtıyor. Paul Walter Hauser harika. Filmin sonu da güzel bitiyor. Bombelere gel bombelere.

I really dug Paul Walter Hauser's performance under the circumstances, and I wouldn't say this is strictly the worst effort by Eastwood, but by and large it's his typical cliche-laden nonsense, with sexist gender stereotypes.

This was an incredibly under-rated movie. I went in because I have generally liked Clint Eastwood's work (Gran Torino being a recent favourite of mine). I absolutely loved it. It is not a popcorn movie but good cinema at its best. Being based on a true story was an added plus. I was hoping Paul Walter Hauser at least gets an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for playing a simple guy who is wronged by the system.

Paul Walter Hauser adds lots of depth to a well-directed film about an interesting and important, but fairly forgotten event. However, it never rises above run-of-the-mill since it can't decide on its patriotism and is happy to indulge in lazy misogyny.

It's nice to see old Eastwood (who directed J Edgar) shedding light on the FBI again. Paul Walter Hauser seems to be a very gifted and underrated actor.
