toddrh 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Went and seen "Gran Torino" since it finally opened here in San Diego. I give it 9 outta 10 Clint Eastwood did a great job in this movie, reminds me a little of the character he played in "Heartbreak Ridge". The racial slurs are done in a humorous way, so most folks will get past them easily without being offended. I smell a few oscars for this movie, cause it's that good.

darylhunter 1 Posted January 10, 2009 Saw it last night in San Mucos - two thumbs up from my wife and I. Surprisingly funny movie with enough drama in there to keep your attention. I agree, an Oscar might be in this film's future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted January 18, 2009 I will say this- Eastwood writes, directs and acts his part so well, the supporting cast become broken bodies on the studio floor. They hardly have a chance. And Kowalski is such a cartoon of a character- little nuance, just a lot of Walt. And I enjoyed the entire thing. I found my self wanting to yell out" Walt, you just can't DO THAT STUFF anymore!" But I really want to, and wish I could. I'm a fan of both movies and films. I'd call GT a movie with the heart of a film. p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blind_in_1_ear 0 Posted January 18, 2009 went to see Gran Torino last night....liked it, liked it a lot. LOVED how perspective was shown, humorous and otherwise. funny watching how un-PC Walt was...trying not to spoil here. i found myself cringing, but seeing my Grandpa too....that generation....they are dying off. Clint, esp in light of the "Spike Lee" call outs, showed REAL life...in REAL times...gritty phrases. Blind not much of a film critic....but 4 outta 5 stars. Clint Eastwood Rules!!!! P.S. did that one kid have 2 thumbs on his right hand??!?!?(*attached to other thumb...dueling thumbs) it was the chubby gangster... if anyone goes and sees it again, lemme know! P.P.S. curious question here.....do you clap at the end of a good movie?? i mean i see in Cannes, director/actor etc... but in Mission Valley 20 @ the 7:20PM show??? seemed, i dunno, odd.
