A-

Eastwood's femme-driven thriller, set in the past but also relevant today, explores police corruption and social injustice in an old-fashioned, studio-era-like film that lacks complexity and thus will be appreciated by mainstream viewers and Oscar voters

Apart from a flashing neon light coda, Eastwood's drama made for a respectable competition entry at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
