Definitely a masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2009)

It's a masterpiece, but not perfect, hence the 9/10. Only problem I had was the slightly bad acting of some gang members and generally the portrayal of the gangs, but that can be easily overlooked. It will definitely not ruin this movie.
On the plus side the movie has that warm gentle feel of Clint Eastwood's directing, beautiful cinematography and a perfect mix of emotions. I consider myself a cynical bastard, quite cold in many ways, but by the time the ending credits started rolling, I found myself moved to tears. This was also due to Clint personally singing the Gran Torino song in the end, and listening to his gruff yet soft echoing voice made me wonder if this was actually his farewell to us all.
Thank you Clint.
