At the beginning of the movie I was wondering if I should keep watching it or not because it didn't appear interesting. But as we go deeper in the film, we start to feel more suspense I kept watching till the end , and yes it surprised me . I didn't expect it to be that good Destined to be a classic . Recommended

This is beyond doubt one of his greatest works. The ending always gets me. Where he sacrifices his life to prove a point and to leave the people he loved in a better place. We all get to that point where we hope we can leave the world and the people around us better off. I really feel for Daisy because all of sudden she has to idea what happened to Walt, but she was left with good people. I wish he had left the car for me, but I didn't need it so it went to a (now) better person. Yes once again the movie left me with a tear in the eyes as it always does. The reason why the title, I first heard him sing in "Paint Your Wagon" ,decades ago, and he didn't really have the voice for it, but hell it didn't stop his success in film making. It is a great movie for the times even tho it's ten years old now.

This is more like it. Clint Eastwood is clearly in his element here, playing a crotchety old man who literally says "get off my lawn" and points guns at people. He's a stereotype but one we come to love. The crowd at my screening was clearly into it and nobody plays characters like this better than Clint. Judging from his bizarre public appearances, he's barely acting anymore. This just is who he is and that's pretty special.

If there's any Clint Eastwood film that sums up his 'jack of all trades' reputation, then this one has got to be it. There's nothing that the guy doesn't do, and this peculiar yet powerful character study is the perfect example of that. 'Gran Torino' is a very smart and hugely enjoyable drama film with a brilliant ending that tops off what is a truly great story.It is a story built on characters and friendship where you would least expect to find it. The character development is excellent, and rarely will you find such a convincing and diverse bunch of characters that work so well together. The film's strength is definitely in its simplicity, with the stripped back, raw approach complementing the storyline perfectly. 'Gran Torino' is an impressive character-driven drama with a memorable ending.
