I have seen just about every movie and as well as his Rawhide Westerns, that Clint was in as well as directed, and I really liked this movie for it's uniquely human and personal quality. It is a genuine movie very worth watching. It is also a realistic story, refreshingly unlike the unwatchable hollow-wood of the last 10-20 years.
Clint Eastwood shows yet another side of this most versatile actor/director self. Do your self a favor, and let yourself be immersed in all of the talents involved in this movie from the story line, the costumes, the sets, the props, all the way along to each supporting cast member, up to Clint's involvement as actor and director.
