Just got off watching this impressive film. Turns out Clint says it's his final acting job, so it has to be compared to 'The Shootist' which was fellow American icon John Wayne's final film. I actually quite like the shootist. I watched it soon after my Mum died from Cancer and Wayne filmed it knowing he had advanced Cancer. It brought me to tears (as did a few things around then).

“Jumping the shark” is an expression that was coined by radio newscaster Jon Hein to capture the fact that a TV series has hit its peak and is in decline. I use this analogy to question whether the BIO organization has “jumped the shark” with its annual international conference held in May 2009 in Atlanta.
