Gran Torino

Drama
5 stars
Excellent movie. I really wasn’t expecting to like this movie, but it surprised me. Clint Eastwood is living in a neighborhood that has evolved into an Asian neighborhood and feuds with the local gangs. But the movie is less about the gangs and more about his relations with the neighbors. He doesn’t mince words and is prejudiced against pretty much every race, creed and color. The movie is surprisingly funny as every ethnic insult is slung; he is like a profane Archie Bunker. Everyone in the theater was laughing. But there are serious situations as well. Just go see it.
