"One of the best movies from last from 2008"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Gran Torino is by far one of the best movies that I saw last year there is just the right amount of action, emotion and comedy.

Acting was really good all around. Clint was by far the best, but the acting from the lesser characters was still very good, if not better than I had been expecting from some of the other reviews I had read.

Overall this is Clint Eastwood at his prime.

"An excellent guy-drama."
5 stars"

This movie is a guy drama. Thats not a bad thing though. The story centers around Clint Eastwood as a retired auto factory worker and war veteran dealing with the recent loss of his wife and the arrival of his new neighbors.

I found the acting to be very well done and the plot was excellent. You could make an educated guess as to general plot progression and you will be fairly accurate but that's true for almost every movie these days.

The movie used a few cliches but I found these to be amusing and not insulting like some of the more pretentious movie reviewers would.

Overall, an excellent movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.

"WOW!!!"
5 stars"

This is an AMAZING movie. You get sent on an emotional rollercoaster ride as you see how a proud and old-fashioned man learns to accept new races and cultures in his small American town. He befriends a young Asian girl and watches as her family struggles with everyday life.

An awesome movie, one of Clint Eastwoods best ever!!!!

Awesome movie, instant classic and definitely a must have for most people's dvd collections. I had to buy this because I was wasting money by renting it so much ^,^ Buy it, watch it, love it.
