Movie Haiku:Second-View Report: Still a SPLIT DECISION! Jan says: Eastwood’s at his most sanctimonious in this heavy-handed & tedious exercise, the goal of which is to depict America’s enemies as “people” rather than monsters. How sad if that''''s really "news" to anyone in 2007. Rich says: Yes it''''s a male weepie, but it''''s still a noble failure.
