I would have preferred something stronger for my Saturday night movie, but I don't feel betrayed either. I just am indecisive about whether to judge this movie as a parody of cliche journalist-saves-death-row-prisoner films or as a representative of such cliche films. Nevertheless, I was amused by brilliant dialogues, hated lousy acting, especially by a way old Eastwood, loathed the totally unconvincing and unbelievably clumsy "green pastures" metaphor, and overall, thought I saw another one of those ordinary Hollywood movies.
