It's a pretty good movie, IMO. I don't recall seeing abuse, but there was a profound disconnect. I didn't see turtles being squashed, either. He was a jarhead Marine Colonel. You can rent it on Apple TV or Prime for $3.99. If you don't like it, I'll Venmo you $3.99.

Apocalypse Now. Napalm in the morning.

Jack Reacher - gun range guy (Not even close to epic but he is so good)

I like how he busted Reacher with the "play ball" start to the shooting test. I really enjoyed him in that movie.

I want you to hit the pace car!

You want me to hit the pace car?

It’s the only thing you haven’t hit!

Thanks for the memories, Mr Duvall.

One of the most bat**** movies I have seen was "Hotel Colonial" with him and John Savage from 1987---can't say it is good, but it sure is memorable.

Even in The Godfather, he had a little twinkle in his eye; here in The Natural he shows off his little flourishes with his gestures and his words that added that little extra to a scene.

The Godfather Part II cast members left the table in the same order that they left this world.

Only Al Pacino remains.....
