A nice story of fatherhood, cultures, and action and consequences

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2014)

The story is one of a mix of fatherhood, cultures, and also action and consequences, stirring and mixing together nicely. All the other ingredients of having the priest and the distant family members. It's funny to see that though the 'prize' Gran Torino is all that is hyped in the title and above the entire story, it only has the slightest of significance in the actual scenes. The story blends well the fatherhood and responsibilities and the atonement background for it. It also focuses well on the cultural clashes by giving nice spotlight on the clashing cultural practices. Eastwood acted out great as anyone would expect. Surprisingly the other main cast are also available to compensate Clint's performance.
