Grand Movie-o

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2010)

Clint Eastwood has contributed some fine directing to the movie world in the past few years so I knew I was going to be in for a thought provoking 2 hours but this movie proves that he is still more than capable of holding his own against some of the younger Hollywood stars IN FRONT of the camera as well! Gran Torino is a masterpiece of sheer class! One of the best movies I have seen in about 5 years.
Clint plays Walt, a racist and grumpy ex-Korean war vet who lives on his own as the only white man in an Asian neighbourhood. One night he gets caught up in fight between the the family next door and the local gang.
What follows is something that will make you think and bring a little smile to your face.
