Another Clint Eastwood starrer. Another nice thriller without unnecessary crap. Apart from being fine entertainment, it spooked me big time about the marriage stuff.
The only thing that surprised me about this movie was the background music direction - which was terribly out of place. When a character is assassinating another character, the music is supposed to be of rising pitch and intensity; and intemittent - to jolt the viewer at the time of actual action. Here, they play happy-happy guitar and piano music which actually uplifts the mood rather than making the atmosphere tense.
It felt so out of place even on the subconcious level, that I suddenly came out of the story and action, to hear the music and wonder why on earth they were playing merry-time music during tense thrilling action. It partially dampened the thrill during the climax.
Other than that though, another fine Clint Eastwood movie. I am becoming a fan of this guy.
