Review of Gran Torino (2008) by Yash B — 26 Nov 2014

The film has a lot of themes that really resonate in the long run. Clint Eastwood delivers a great performance and a very good directing job as well. The movie starts out with an absolutely despicable character who ends up being someone you can really root for before the end credits roll.

The movie isn't what I expected it to be, but that really isn't a bad thing, since it actually was so much more. It is an engrossing and intense drama that tackles topics such as racism and vengeance in an artistic and entertaining way and is fueled by Eastwood's wonderful performance.
