Finally an actual MOVIE!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2009)

Movies these days seem to be filled with action and not much of a plot. Giant robots turning into toasters? Boring. Sparkly vampires seducing a totally inept teenager? Seen it all before . . . But this movie did something that most shows never do. It made me feel for the characters, and I am proud to say, I cried a little at the end.
Clint Eastwood's character, Walt Kowalski was well developed and believable. A prejudiced Korean War vet who lost his wife, he lives in a gang run neighborhood, which (at least by my standards) is a slum.
Ahney Her and Bee Vang (Sue and Thao Vang Lor) were great at acting in this classic, the acting was totally believable, and didn't sound forced or like they were reading off of cue cards behind the cameraman.
The plot was well developed and believable, showing the change of Walt from a stubborn veteran to a caring mentor for Thao and Sue, protecting them from the gang of the neighborhood. This was one movie I'm glad to have watched.
