A really good movie that shouldn't be nominated for anything.

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2008)

Gran Torino was a good, solid movie. By reading my review (First review in over 3 years, by the way) you might think that I didn't like this movie, but that isn't the case.
Gran Torino is a good movie, just not a great one. I think that is because it WAS predictable and rather cartoonish. A lot of stereotypes were used in a movie that wants to abolish stereotypes and I don't really get that. I think the ending was something that people could have predicted about 40 minutes before it actually happened (or maybe even sooner) That being said, I liked this movie. It never lagged and was always interesting. Eastwood was great and he is a fantastic director. That is enough to recommend it.
