That was an excellent one.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

One of Clint's absolute best. I love this movie. I have to admit the humour can be inappropriate at times, but you can see Eastwood's influence all over this movie. To the casual observer this movie may seem cruel and heartless but when given a chance it really shows tough love a great heart. Some of the jokes and comments made are very racist, and a lot of F-bombs, not for people who are sensitve to these kinds of things. On the surface Korean war veteran Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) seems to dislike his Hmong neighbours but deep down he really does love them, as is revealed as the movie unfolds. At times you might wonder where the film is headed, if anywhere, but seen to the very end you finally get it!! One of the best of his illustrious career.

I'm not a fan of westerns, nor have I watched any other Clint Eastwood films so I came to this one with an unbiased mind.Our protagonist (or should that be antagonist?) is not the most likeable fellow. His constant racist/offensive comments are more comical than malicious but I certainly wouldn't recommend this film if you are easily offended (like the reviewers must have been that scored this film anything less than 8!).This film is so well-made, well-paced and there are some life lessons along the way. Not your typical revenge film but definitely has that feel by the end. It reminds me of 187, which is an extremely underrated film starring Samuel L Jackson. If you like that film, you will love this I'm sure.I laughed, cried and reflected a lot. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

If there's any Clint Eastwood film that sums up his 'jack of all trades' reputation, then this one has got to be it. There's nothing that the guy doesn't do, and this peculiar yet powerful character study is the perfect example of that. 'Gran Torino' is a very smart and hugely enjoyable drama film with a brilliant ending that tops off what is a truly great story.It is a story built on characters and friendship where you would least expect to find it. The character development is excellent, and rarely will you find such a convincing and diverse bunch of characters that work so well together. The film's strength is definitely in its simplicity, with the stripped back, raw approach complementing the storyline perfectly. 'Gran Torino' is an impressive character-driven drama with a memorable ending.

This film is a MUST WATCH!!! I first watched this when i was 14, it was my first Clint Eastwood film. i would go even as far to see a showing of it in a cinema, it is such a highly philosophical film with characters like Walt(Clint Eastwood), Sue and Thao are very relatable which you can not help but get emotionally involved with. Walt is at the start of the film is a grumpy stubborn old man who keeps a stiff upper lip who does in no way want to get involved with his neighbours but eventually forms a relationship with a Hmong family next door, i'm not going to reveal any more because it's best to go in without knowing too much. This film is a 10/10 and their are not many films I would give that high of a score. I know it sounds like a film you would catch on channel 5 on a Sunday afternoon (you would get that if you Live in England). However if you want to share this film with someone who has no patience, and who is very, how do i say this without offending. In la la land all the time and doesn't think or is a deep thinker about life in general. Don't bother because it will ruin your enjoyment of the film
