Gran Torino

What can I say about Gran Torino except that it is a great new film from Clint Eastwood.  He has done another great job in acting and directing his own film.  I saw this film at the Regal Cinemas in Waterford Lakes, and was not disappointed.  For those who don't know, this film is about a typical 1950's white American who hates other races, but yet he lives in a neighborhood that has been overrun now with foreign families.  He hates all of them, but what makes this movie great is that even though he hates other nationalities, he eventually starts liking his new neighbors once he gets to know them.  In a time like this even someone from the old school can have a change of heart.

This movie is a slow drama and filled with racist words through the entire movie.  So if you are someone whom cannot handle too many racist words, then this movie is not for you.  But I promise you that if you are into Clint Eastwood films, you will love this film in every way.  You will not be disappointed.  

I give this movie 4 1/2 out of 5.
