I had not seen this film and decided last weekend it was about time. I'm always displeased to be reminded of how politicized are the academy awards. I think that in theory an allegory against violence can be a fine thing, but one as heavy handed and clumsy as this one is not enjoyable. I much prefer Dirty Harry or High Plains Drifter.
