Not really an Eastwood fan, until now!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2009)

This was maybe the best film I have ever seen. The screenplay was fresh and written by a genius. I disagree that the supporting cast was anything but excellent. I can't think of a film with as much substance since "Mr Deeds". As a gay man I was hoping to see "Milk" as the years best, and it is good, but "Torino" is in a class by itself. I expect this film will make a fortune at the box Office, as well it should, and I think it should get best screenplay and best picture. I expect the creative team behind this movie to become renowned as the best talent in The business and challenge the idea that Hollywoods better days are behind them. Somewhere Frank Capra is grinning, stoked and proud of these people.
