Gran Torino

I saw this on Friday.

If you like Clint Eastwood, you will love this movie. And by far, this is the most meaningful movie he's done. I am still thinking about it 3 days after seeing it.

Now mind you, it is rated R so don't take the kids. There's lots of swearing and racial slurs and moderate violence. But it's a great movie with a great story and and great acting by Eastwood. It's amazing what he can convey with a grunt.

Don't let the trailer fool you. It's not about a grumpy old man out to kill gang bangers. It's about a grumpy old man reflecting on his life and how the world has changed and the changes he goes through that positively changes the people around him and himself.

I don't want to say more than that as I may spoil it.

5 stars IMO.

Thanks for posting about this movie. I considered it the other day (went to see Valkyrie instead. Good movie also), but I thought it was a Dirty Harry-type movie & was not interested. Clint Eastwood has been involved in some very thought-provoking movies, though. So I will definitely be checking it out now.

It looks like a good movie. It was filmed in my neighborhood.....pretty cool

I watched it on DVD (yes DVD :D) about 2 weeks ago. It was a GREAT movie, I highly recommend it.

I saw this movie last weekend. By far one of his best. Not as much violence as i was expecting.
One of the best movies ive seen in a while.

Fantastic movie! Im not a clint eastwood fan, but i love this one:gj:

I gotta jump on board this one too.

Dang fine flick.

Had tears in my eyes.

Well, they were all watery anyway.

I do highly recommend it though.

Im 15 and we are gonna go see it this weekend mabye. But then again i love the rambo movies

I saw it a few weeks ago, and I gotta say, it was excellent.
