Review of Gran Torino (2008) by Derek D — 26 Aug 2012
The fact that Clint wasn't even nominated for Best Actor was complete BULLSHIT!!! He plays an amplified, old bitter Dirty Harry-type chraracter pretty much. A retired auto worker who's racist and sees his neighborhood being overrun by mixed races.
He also hates absolutely everyone on Earth, especially his family. Slowly, Clint finds a young brother and sister living next door he comes to like and helps them out when they get tormented by a local gang.
Every racial slur imaginable is present here, including some I'd never heard before. A wonderful movie and a great swan song to Clint's career.
