5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!, 17 Mar 2009

By	C. Cosgrave "cath1004" (Manchester) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I went to see this film at the cinema and when it ended i would have happily have sat through it again. For a couple of minutes after it finished nobody moved and all I could think was wow!. It really is a good film and I have heard some reviewers say that some of the performances of the minor charactors were not great but I felt that I was watching real people in a real situation. Clint Eastwood is not a young man any more but I had no trouble believing that he was a hard man who could still instill the fear of God. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD so that I can watch it again. It's just what we need, a real modern day hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clint Eastwood was born to play Walt Kowalski in his last role as an actor and one of his best!, 29 Jun 2009

By	Dragonlord (Cornwall) - See all my reviews

Gran Torino is a hard hitting film in which Clint Eastwood learns to like his Hmong immigrants neighbours from Southwest Asia by defending them from a local gang. I found this to be both touching and moving because at the start of the film he hated his neighbours. The role of Walt Kowalski is very much in the same vain as his Dirty Harry character. Gran Torino is extremely well acted by all and the directing by Mr Eastwood is to his normal very high standards. I found the story really gripped me and also shocked me at times especially the ending. I feel a little sad that this is Clint Eastwoods last film as an actor and I am glad that it is a most excellent film too because at least he goes out on a high. If you are a fan of Clint Eastwood then Gran Torino really is a must buy film on blu-ray in which it looks great too.

Brilliant film. Seems to start slowly but does get going and is a joy to watch despite the gentle pace. Clint has definately still got it.
