Default Gran Torino

watched this film last night, it was a little slow moving at first, but it gradually unravels a great story. The dialogue, while sometimes over the top, is excellent.

I'd say go see it,


Warning, spoilers further down in this thread. Mod

is this dirty harry at age 78? no, it is more, a carefully and lovingly crafted little character study. well acted and produced and directed...a 9.75 outta 10 cause they could have used a ss396 which was a cooler car! if you like clint, liked the unforgiven, and any of his other films, you will like this.

think about where they lived... you are from so cal so things are a lot different here. im not from michigan or where ever it was filmed, but in slumy area's like that its not rare to find scenes like that.
