Gran Torino
I went to a private pre-screening of Gran Torino last night. Clint Eastwood is incredible. Yes there is a beautiful 1972 Gran Torino in the movie, but it is not the star. Clint plays a crochty old fart that way too many of us can relate to. Either by him resembling our fathers, grandfathers, another relative or a neighbor (maybe even yourself). If you don't want your kids picking up a bunch of racial slurs that many of us have not used in years or even heard in a couple of decades--best to not take them. The movie is two hours and will keep you going the whole time. Clint should win plenty of awards for this one. That is where I will leave it as to not give anything away.

Re: Gran Torino
Thanks for the review. I want to see it but wasn't sure if it would be good. I saw Clints last two movies on WWII and they were good but I was not overly impressed.
I'm definitely going to check it out.

Re: Gran Torino
My friend says it's Dirty Harry living on AARP.
Supposed to be the last movie Clint will ever act in as well. I heard the acting by the supporting cast was weak.Granted trying to act with Mr.E. can't be easy,but almost each review I see or read says this over & over. All are new comers with no chops.. Clint & the car are the only real stars and for that alone I'd go see it.
