Gran Torino

Not sure what to expect when this came through from the video rental place.  Clint Eastwood does some good movies but it had been a while since I had seen in him in one.  There aren't many movies that I will give 10 out of 10 to but this is one of them.  It's a must see.  A bit shocking to see Clint playing this part and at the start I couldn't decide whether he was a racist or an Americanist with a strong love for the country he fought for in the Korean War.  What's start off as shocking becomes humorous and then, I can guarantee, will have you in stitches.  You won't feel let down by this film and I could even say that it's a buyer.  Oh and BTW, once you watched the film, please can someone let me know if Clint always talks like that or whether he just puts it on for his characters. 

10/10
