Thriller, Crime, Action

As I expected, this film just wasn't for me. Clint Eastwood is certainly a legendary actor but his style has never been my favorite. I suppose that makes sense because he is more of a physical actor, not a talker. This movie is all about the chase and doesn't give much depth of characters, which is fine but I always like to know more about the "why." Scorpio is one of the creepiest villains I've seen in film, so that doesn't help my personal score for the film. I do, however, appreciate the action shots and suspense throughout.
