After all these years Clint still delivers!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2017)

Gran Torino is one of Clint's finest performances. He plays a grumpy retired, racist Korean war vet that becomes a hero of the neighborhood for preventing neighbor Thao from being taken by his gangbanger cousin. Walt had no intention of helping his Hmong neighbors, he was just trying to get them off his lawn. He ends up finding a kinship with his neighbors and a bond between them grows. While bonding with Thao and teaching him to become a man, he learns about the Hmong culture and ends up giving up his racist ways. The film the takes a dark turn as is expected when dealing with gangs. This is very well put together overall with a lot of wit and humor with one of Clint's most powerful performances in front of the screen. As one of Clint's biggest fans, I sincerely hope that he is not done acting yet. I didn't think I would like Trouble With The Curve, but Clint is great in that too. I would watch Clint read a phone book.
