Product ReviewsGran Torino (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, Canadian)

A movie not to be missed!

One of the BEST movies I have ever seen! It plays on one's emotion because the subject matters are concerning (prejudice, ethics) and though the movie is not current, the theme is very current.
Outstanding acting performances as well, and for me, Clint Eastwood's best role!Read full review...

An A+ For Actor/Director Clint Eastwood

Actor/Director Clint Eastwood (Forgiveness (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004) plus many more) gives an outstanding performance and once again proves his directing skills in this movie about an old Korean War Veteran who is full of hate toward everyone in his life.

Following the death of his wife, Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) is alone and full of disgust for everyone in his life, especially those whom he feels have taken over his neighborhood. He remembers back on days gone by when he knew everyone around him. Now he looks around and sees only foreigners who have taken over his life.

Following a number of incidents, one involving his neighbor, a Hmong teenage boy, and his Gran Torino, Walt (Eastwood) embarks on a journey of self discovery, he is befriended by the boys sister and Walt discovers there is more to life than hate and bitterness.

The story flows from the beginning as we get to know the characters and leads to a surprisingly touching ending where Walt (Eastwood) shows his true spirit.

This movie deals with intolerance, racism and ignorance of others and shows that even the most hate filled individual can be won over with love and kindness.

I recommend that you watch this movie and perhaps you will walk away with a different view of life.

Rated 5 of 5 stars for a movie that should be seen by everyone and will be enjoyed by all who see it.Read full review...

Gran Torino-One of Clint's best!!

This may or may not be Clint Eastwood's final movie as an actor. But the acting in this movie is real and gritty!! The movie is shows how an old man protects his young next door neighbours from gangs.
On how he overcomes his own prejudice's within himself and comes to peace with himself with his past.

I decided to buy Gran Torino because I watched some of the trailers from it and just had to have it. I bought the Blu-ray version because I wanted the best sound and picture quality available.

Thanks Clint for giving us this movie!!Read full review...
