Gran Torino.
I've always been a fan of Clint Eastwood with his Dirty Harry films however this is not like them at all, some of the press reviews said it was "like Dirty Harry is back" but they are way off.
Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) is an old Korean war veteran who spends his days sitting on his porch with his dog, drinking beer and swearing at his Chinese elderly neighbour who he can tell doesn't like him. Thao (Bee Vang) a young Chinese boy of The Hmong family that live next door, is very shy and quiet and is being pressured into joining a local Chinese gang, Walt doesn't want anything to do with them but as Thao's initiation is to steal his classic 1972 Ford Gran Torino and is failed by Walt and his M1 Garand, fate transpires and he ends up becoming friends with his neighbours.
Eastwood owns the movie with the best lines and by far best performance, co stars were not so talented with Bee Vang as Thao and Ahney Her as Su they were mediocre at best but this is mainly i think due to having to speak another language.
I recommend this for Eastwood fans but don't expect an action movie, it's all down to the script.
7 out of 10
