MY REVIEW: The Last Man Standing!!

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2014)

Gran Torino. Disgruntled Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski played by director-actor the old school champion Client Eastwood sets out to reform his neighbor, a Hmong teenager who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: a 1972 Gran Torino. The plot is simple, narrative is straight, drama is deep, emotions are heavy, dialogs are witty and message is huge. All in all, from the word go, you are glued to last days of Walt and how he bonds with his Hmong neighbors and how it affects him and others. Clint Eastwood never misses a beat playing the on your face last man standing. His interactions with ladies around him are much funnier and deep than his main ally the Hmong teenager. The only false note in this class act is the ending of his interaction with young priest who is awaiting for Walt's confession for so long. Nevertheless, the out of the box climax leaves you so much to think about what you will do in similar situation. So watch it because it is witty, funny, emotional and quite a manly movie.
