Pros: Great acting, very funny, tremendously touching, gripping, and a unique storyline Cons: None
Gran Torino fits into a category that is totally new to me. A genre that I don't think I have ever found in a film before. It is mainly a drama, but also contains more laughs than you'd expect. And to top that off, it adds in some action as well. The ...
Pros: Deep Story Pacing Memorable Characters Cons: Bonus Features
Every so often, a film comes by that challenges the way you look at movies and actors. Gran Torino is one that changed my appreciation for Clint Eastwood. Gran Torino is the story of a dying breed of man in modern times. The story starts with ...
"Bittersweet." That's how parish priest Father Jay (Christopher Carley) describes the funeral of Walt (Clint Eastwood) Kowalski's wife Dorothy in the opening scene of Gran Torino. Dorothy was a "peach." The family that's come to her funeral is an ...
Pros: Well acted and written. Cons: Very melodramatic to start.
After all these years, Eastwood is still at it…toting guns and scaring the tar out of everybody with that villainous stare of his that could quite possibly intimidate Hercules. In Gran Torino, Eastwood’s character Walt Kowalski is ...
Pros: An real-view approach to gangs, violence, age, prejudice, family and the changing world. Cons: EXTREME profanity.
It is not too often that we have the opportunity to go to the movies, so we often resort to the Redbox for our entertainment. This week we had the opportunity to view the movie, Gran Torino, with Clint Eastwood. Eastwood plays the role of a ...
Pros: very deep plot, looks nothing like a Hollywood film, unusual setting/characters/ideas Cons: constant slurs after his redemption
I saw Gran Tornio two days ago. I couldn't quite come up with an easy description or grade then, and I'm nearly just as far now.Directed, produced by and starring Clint Eastwood, this film is no typical Hollywood flick. Don't expect a blockbuster ...
Pros: Funny, moving, excellent throughout, amazing ending Cons: somewhat subpar acting on the asian gangsters' parts
Warning: some plot spoilersThe first thought I had after watching this film a couple months back was "My dad would absolutely love this movie." With an oldtimer's perspective on family values, racist jokes, and a gritty performance from the ...
Pros: Clint Eastwood may be almost 80, but he's still got the Dirty Harry in him. Cons: None
If you've not seen Gran Torino, I suggest you do it quick before it leaves theaters. You're talking to a guy who doesn't go to movies that often anymore as I just don't pay attention to popular culture and when I do take note of movies ...
Pros: Very moving, accurate portrayal of different cultures. Cons: Lots of racial slurs; definitely not appropriate for a young audience.
I did not know what this movie was about when I went to the theater. My fiance wanted to see it, and I went along. It starred Clint Eastwood so I thought it would at least be decent. I was actually completely blown away. The ...
Pros: Outstanding acting by newcomers and Clint! Cons: None - loved every minute of it.
Gran Torino is Terrific! Clint Eastwood stars in this movie as well as directing it.Yes I've seen this Clint character before, most recently in Million Dollar Baby, but I still LOVE him! SPOILER ALERT!!!!! ...
Absolutely amazing film. I love Clint Eastwood movies, so I couldn't wait until this was released. I was seeing the trailers on T.V. and kept thinking "Go ahead punk, make my day.". I was blown away by this film. It is totally not ...
Pros: - Deep story which portrays very relevant issues in society and provides a powerful resolution Cons: - Alot of swearing and racial epitaths, and some violence
I watched Gran Torino in theaters with my wife. I imagine like many who saw the previews, I imagined Gran Torino to be a real bang bang shoot em up Clint Eastwood type of movie set in the modern day city. I was a little curious how they were going to ...
Pros: It keeps you longing for Clint Eastwoodto beat some since into someone. Very enjoyable. Cons: Slow at times but not enough to lose anticipation.
Clint Eastwood is 100% excellent in this movie. His raspy voice is not one that I've considered to be good for him in all of his other movies, but it fits him very good in this movie based on the character that he plays. It has a passable ...
Pros: wonderful characters with very believable traits. Cons: true to the character of Walt, political correctness does not exist!
Through this whole movie I kept thinking- Clint's character should be called Harry instead of Walt, this guy is Dirty Harry surrounded by his "enemies"! This is a great screen play producer and acted by Mr. Eastwood.Imagine an elderly gentleman ...
Pros: Great performance by Eastwood. Some very humerous moments. Cons: A lot of profanity and some violence.
I am not a huge action movie fan. But I loved this movie. It was hilarious but also had a good amount of suspense and action. It had an interesting message and was one of Clint Eastwood's better performances. There was a ton of swearing, which I'm ...
