[SIZE=2]I think Walt's last act was reasonable and made a sense. Walt was soldier for Korean war, and he killed many people. [spoiler]He knew about "Life and Death". So he didn't wanna kill people any more. If it was usual Eastwood's action movie, he would shoot bastards. But he didn't. He only pulled a cigarette lighter from inner pocket. I've never seen such a way of death in any movies. I cried at that scene.[/spoiler]
That's why I like Clint Eastwood. He always give emotional stories to us. [/SIZE]
It was a shame to see what happened to Walt. I liked him. He reminded me of several people I've known over the years. The end was sad, touching, and surprising. It actually could have worked.
The Dirty Harry type ending, which I expected, would have been so unrealistic. We've gotten it from Eastwood so often that it always expected. He walks in, kills everybody, says something cool, and leaves. That didn't happen.
I guess I'm torn on the ending. I wanted to see Eastwood walk away one more time. The way he did do it was a surprise, but made more sense. It was sad.
