The Great Santini Reviews

Amazing story on military family life and also race relations in the South in the early 60's. Why that lady have to name her kid Toomer though. WAY too similar to Tumor. Robert Duvall proves once again why he's the best actor of all time and will always be my favorite, glazing ik

One of those films where it’s dependent on the performances for quality, and Duvall is great in this, elevating this multi-character study by quite a bit. Unfortunately though the film is predictable and has a surface (and at times hypocritical) understanding of race relations

Duvall is a powerful actor. A warrior without a war.
