One hell of a man in a film that is what it is

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2009)

I looked forward to seeing this movie for a while and was not disappointed. The Characters are simple honest and uncomplicated but very likable and I really enjoyed Clint's performance even if at times a little over the top and overly sentimental. As usual his direction was perfect for the film and I loved the way the film tidies itself up by the end. It is rumoured this will be Eastwoods last acting performance as he will be concentrating on directing, however no one fills the big screen tough guy role like Clint and Gran Torino is an extremely honest vehicle for Eastwood to say a leading role goodbye to his acting admirers.
