Review of Gran Torino (2008) by Jerome P — 10 Feb 2013

Don't get the love for this movie. The acting is awful, except for Ahney Her. Who does a credible job for an acting newcomer. But there's a reason you shouldn't grab actors off the street. They can't act. Although, I don't know what Clint Eastwood's excuse is. He's usually excellent, but was charicaturish.

The story is weak in its handling of race relations. It felt unnatural and wasn't very creative. The relationship between Walt and his family was lame and completely lacked hate and frustration.
