Nobody does grizzled, grumpy and grouchy independence better than Clint, not even the late Paul Newman. :thumbup: ;D

Damn, that looks good.  I like the fact that name of the film does NOT mean another car as main character/hero film.  In this, like all of Clint's movies, it seems from the trailer that the people are the ones that matter.  Perhaps the car is a metaphor for his character and the times he knew?

I think it looks corny.  The trailer, to me, looked like Clint Eastwood doing a characature of Clint Eastwood.

But Clint is an institution. Sometimes I just like to watch a typical Hollywood predictable, brain dead and fun movie and Clint is my guy. I’m gonna be Clint on Halloween…Go ahead punk, step on my lawn.

I loved Clint in Unforgiven; I thought he did a great job with Flags of Our Fathers, and I'm really looking forward to finally seeing Letters from Iwo Jima (I've got the Blu-ray sitting on my shelf), but this looks to me like a cheeseball movie of the week. Sorry, Clint.  :-*

The trailer did make me think of my all-time favourite you-picked-the-wrong-guy-to-:censor:-with scene, though. Gotta love this gem from Ray Liotta in Goodfellas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR4G3RaP6kk .
