GRAN TORINO

A Strong 7

I love Clint Eastwood!! He is a fantastic actor and of late, producing more films with a lot of substance. This was a good movie. I would recommend you see it. Unexpected ending which I liked even though it made me sad. I hate movies where I can predict everything that is about to happen.

One disappointment - the excessive Asian racial slurs. I understand that perhaps men of this era who fought in the Korean or Vietnam war have certain hostilities. Eastwood certainly spread his verbal racial abuse around but I just thought the racial epithets directed toward Asians were a little much.

All Time Favorite Clint Eastwood film: Any Which Way But Loose. Loved that orangutan and little old lady!
