This didn't come out here in Australia until a couple of weeks ago, and I only got to see it last night.
I know the reviews have been a bit patchy, and I'm probably a bit biased being that I'm a rugger bugger, but damn I loved this movie. Yes, Matt Damon was pretty wooden, and the inspirational music is overkill at times, but it didn't matter. This is a sensational story that was always going to stand by itself, and Eastwood and the cast did a servicable job at portraying it.
