With Clint Eastwood directing, I'm not really sure what to make of this. It looks like it has potential, I will wait for the reviews before deciding whether I check this out.
i'm curious to see what happens.
Leo looks like he’s going for the Oscar here and hopefully he gets it, but Eastwood is usually hit-or-miss nowadays which is why I’m not too siked for it just yet. Nice post Candice!
