Wow, I didn't realize it had been ten years. I saw it at theaters when it opened. I recognize it as a good movie, but not one of my favorites. This may be a weakness of mine, but I guess I prefer Clint kicking butt, I guess that's why Gran Torino is one of my favorites in his later films.
Someone else mentioned liking it more after watching it again. This is something else I've noticed about me and Clint's later films. It's as though I have to watch them multiple times to absorb everything and really appreciate them. I don't know if it's due to how he make a film in later years, or just my aging brain. Believe it or not, I wasn't a huge fan of "Unforgiven" the first time I saw it, but after seeing it a few more times, it's one of my favorites.
