Another Classic

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2012)

Clint Eastwood is by far one of the best actors I've ever seen (and thats quite a lot), and his performance in Gran Torino is nothing short of amazing. Although he is now probably favouring the directors role; he is still able to carry a movie all by himself. The film is poignant and beautiful, and in my eyes, probably one of Eastwood's finest. The characters are both realistic and fully drawn, the whole film packs real emotion and drama. After seeing the trailers I wasn't sure. A film about an old racist, but Eastwood pulls it off brilliantly.
I don't want to spoil it, but the ending really packs a punch, they're wont be a dry eye in the front room. It's a mix of drama, comedy and some action, although it's not a thrill a minute film, it will grab every viewer in different ways.
