    Especially the sister. She acts like a moron. And I hated that scene when she was getting harassed by those guys. Her acting just made me cringe. =/

    I think she acted very accurately. A lot like the asian girls at my school.

    It's an interesting movie. Makes you think.

    Actually, the worst actor in the movie was the kid playing Thao. The scene near the end of the movie, where he yells at Eastwood to open the door, made me want to just get up and leave the theatre. That was probably the most atrocious peace of acting I've seen in a movie up to date.

    Clint Eastwood is my another issue with this movie. While Walt Kowalski was an interesting character, I couldn't help but notice how similar he is to several other heroes Eastwood played in the past.

    Still, other than that, I found the movie rather enjoyable.

    What Cathal said, basically. I especially hated that scene in the end with Toad. The ending was a surprise to me.

    I figured he would go to the house and shoot everyone, and then kill himself

    But it's always good to be surprised. Definitely a good movie, even with the atrocious acting of the two chink kids.
