I have to give Clint Eastwood a lot of credit for his
acting choices as he gets older. He has never shied away from playing his age,
a rarity in a business that rewards youth and vigor. Roughly since Unforgiven he has continued to play
characters whose age has some profound impact on the story. As Gus in Trouble with the Curve, Eastwood plays a
baseball scout who faces irrelevancy by the new technologies and theories that
have a way of creeping into the workplace.
