[...] Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon must have enjoyed themselves when they worked together on Invictus, the true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain (Damon) of South Africa’s underdog rugby team to help unite their country. The reason I mention this is because Damon and Eastwood are set to work on Hereafter for Warner Bros. Eastwood is directing Damon, again. This time it’s not a true story, a supernatural thriller, leaning toward a plot like The Sixth Sense. Warner Bros. is keeping the storyline under lock and key. [...]

i really liked this movie! the one thing that i didn tlike about it was the fact that it was all based on racism. im a white female and i am strongly against racism. the acting was a bit off with the kids but i’m sure it was really hard playing a part in which you had to be so very kind to a person that is extremlly rude to you. The thing that bothered me was when Sue was raped and beaten. I understand that things like that really did happen but it was a bit over done.
Overall it was a great movie! It’s a movie that i could watch over and over and never get tired of it!

I always keep a list of 10 favorite movies and this has made my top ten, and thats not easy to do. I just hate the idea that the gang did’nt really get their’s, because prison was too good for those bully bastards!

This movie was great. Clint, as usual, did a superb job. The acting of the children wasn’t that good but I still am not sure if it is bad acting of part of a cultural thing. I think you may have missed the point of the movie. I doubt intentions were to give much thought on violence in the movie but how actions speak louder than words, and that everybody, no matter what generation, age, race, sex etc, has the choice to change and either do the right thing, or the wrong thing. Walt didn’t die from smoking, or did he?

I couldn’t agree more about the ego-trip for an aging Western Actor. I thought the film boiled down to Walt being a bad ass with a heart after all, the same old story, with a few bad acting new comers. If anyone but Clint made this movie, we wouldn’t have even heard of it. There was another interesting review that I read on Essentialgearguide.com:

But that review might have been too soft
