Great mixture of yesterday's Clint and today's.

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2009)

There's no denying that Clint Eastwood has come a long way as a movie director.He has multiple Oscars to prove that.However,there are those of us who long to see that grit teeth Clint Eastwood that we came to know and love years ago,whether it was in the form of that certain no name drifter of the old west,or in that of that certain rule bending San Francisco cop.What we have in Gran Torino is a grand mixture of both those aspects of this Hollywood legend.Mixed in with that,we have a great story of a man,having had nothing but bitterness and hatred in his heart most of his life,finally being able to let go and find friendship in the unlikeliest of places.Eastwood fans should not miss this and most likely will not,and even if you are not a big fan,you will enjoy the story.
