[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 305729, member: 57"] Heartbreak Ridge (1986) (Not a [I]Bold & The Beautiful[/I] spin-off) I've been an admirer of Clint Eastwood at a distance, you might say, not really having seen many of his films. I think I first saw him in the musical [I]Paint Your Wagon[/I] (1969), not very typical of him, as I've since learned, although it [I]is[/I] a Western of sorts. This one seems determined to defy categorisation. If I read the script on paper I'm sure I would take it for a sardonic anti-war comedy like [I]M*A*S*H[/I] (the movie) or [I]Catch-22[/I]. But Clint, both as actor and director, doggedly imbues it with a gruff deadpan style that runs counter to the humour. Whether that is intentional I have no way of knowing but I found the effect rather unsettling. [/QUOTE]
