i was disappointed in some of the asians' acting. it appeared forced in some scenes, and that really ruined the scene enough to become a distraction. if you haven't seen the movie yet, these are possible spoilers (although i don't see how):

perfect example: when he locked toad in the basement and the kid was supposed to be throwing a tantrum to be let out... it was so forced it ruined what should have been a good scene. there were plenty of other scenes, more than i care to count. toad's sister did ok, especially when she showed up beaten and bruised. veteran actors played his sons, but i don't think those relationships were explored enough for him to say "I have more in common with these gooks than I do with my own family..."

of course, clint's acting is beyond reproach. he pulls things off with ease what other actors would have trouble with. i'd give it three out of five stars, and it only gets the three because of clint.
