Gran Torino ****

I feel like I'm the last person in America to watch 'Gran Torino'!
It got on 'very long wait' on netflix before I got it!

It was worth the wait.

I'm not a huge Clint Eastwood fan, but at the same time, he's never done anything I hated. 'Gran Torino' is like dirty Harry as an old man.

He's a widower who is left in a now bad neighborhood, dealing with the gangs that have taken over. His character muttered almost every racial slur you can imagine, but delivered them in such a way that it's hysterical. He makes friends with some of the good people, helps some young people in need, and ultimately, sacrifices to help the young people he's befriended.

'Gran Torino' is amazingly another great movie from Clint Eastwood. It's a great story, well done, and of course, masterfully acted by Eastwood.

It's ok for most kids. There are some gang violence scenes (not terribly disturbing), and as I said, almost every racial slur imagineable. (My favorite was 'doo-wop dego' for the barber.) Otherwise, most kids might even learn something about people from it!

A must see!
