Loved the ending, too; you knew what was coming when **nospoilers** Clint was getting his hair cut. I thought he hammed up the, “Grr, I’m always crabby” aspect a bit too much in the first part of the film, but solid performances and a great story all around. Loved it.

Glad you liked it Jay. They certainly don’t make them like Clint anymore.

I found that the ending not meeting what I was expecting and what seemed obvious to be one of the movie’s greatest strengths and thought it to be an ingenious move by Clint. The ending allows a different kind of satisfaction I think, as witnessed in the final scene.

It’s hard to say more without getting into spoilers. We can discuss no doubt more in person!

I love how Clint just let loose with all kinds of cuss words totally in stride. Nothing forced about it. It was just his natural way of speaking. I Ha! -ed many times.
