그 영화를 그렇게 좋아하진 않았어요, 하지만 배우들은 잘했어요. 저는 지금 공유한테 반했어요.

A director clearly at play; you can tell Eastwood just had a blast making this. Structurally reckless and tonally spontaneous, with some of the most lively mise en scène of his entire career. There were more than a few jaw-dropping shots which made me think, "This is Eastwood?!" He's beyond taking risks at this point, making films on no one's terms but his own. I can't help but think of what Rossellini said about Chaplin's A King in New York: "This is the film of a free man."

An aging gunslinger western in the guise of a police procedural. The passing of time and the changing of the guard (so to speak) are enacted by way of the central romance. Terry and Graciella court in the light of the setting sun, and visions of death (both inflicted and impending) bind them together through the night. The film is less ambivalent toward violence than, say, Unforgiven, but it's telling of Eastwood's concerns that the enactment of justice is passed from the hands of an old white man with a gun to a younger unarmed Latina.
