 Gran Torino review Product Description
For his fourth directorial feature in the span of two years, Clint Eastwood tells the story of a grizzled Korean War vet's reluctant friendship with a Hmong teenage boy and his immigrant family. Set in contemporary Detroit, GRAN TORINO tackles the shifting cultural and economic landscape of not only the Motor City, but America as well. Eastwood stars as Walt Kowalski, an unabashed bigot who never heard a racial insult he didn't love. Bitter, haunted, and full of pride, Walt refuses to abandon the neighborhood he's lived in for decades despite its changing demographics as he clings desperately to a mindset long since out of step with the times. When his Hmong neighbor Thao tries to steal his prized muscle car as part of a gang initiation, Walt is forced to grapple with the world around him.
GRAN TORINO's approach to the complicated issue of race relations is equal parts Archie Bunker and CRASH. ...See Full Description

| Best Eastwood to date
Best movie that Mr. Eastwood has made to date!!!! He truly diserves a gammy for this movie. It also shows how as a culture we believe we are intitled to what our family has!!!!!

| VERY POWERFUL
This movie was just so powerful and moving. It makes me wonder time and time again why movies like "Slumdog Millionaire" or movies like "Monsters Ball" win oscars over real greatness that is like this movie. Clint Eastwood at his finest indeed. This movie is just that good and should win an oscar hands down. Like another reviewer stated,"one of the most important movies of our time" It is awesome. Please see a real movie with not just a "good story" to it but a great story.10 stars!
