[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]6/10, Eastwood was good but just about everything else was bad, especially the acting.chessmaster1989

I will admit I did nearly laugh when Clint locked Tao in the basement and Tao was like 'NOOOOOOO WTF WTF WTF NOOOOOO WTF WTF!!!!' :P

Clint Eastwood proves that he can out-badass himself at 78. It's a great movie and I hope to buy it sometime.

Gran Torino was a near perfect film and I bought it the first day it came out. Though not everyone here agrees with me.

Can you please explain how it was near perfect? The acting alone makes it FAR from being near perfect.

The scene where Sue trash talks the gangsters is genuinely cringe-worthy.

All of the characters expect for Clint and the Barber were horrible as Robbie stated the scene where the girl trash talk the "Gangsters" was horrible plus the Asian gang. not to mention its cliche and contrived storyline. Though I did find it enjoyable just to Clint again....

I loved it. I wouldn't say it was perfect - some of the acting by the Asian actors was uneven - but apart from that I found it to be extremely funny and by the end, very moving. Clint Eastwood is just out of this world in that film. Even though he is rascist, it is still highly possible to sympathise with him because of the way that other peoples values have deteriorated around him. I certainly think it will be in the top films that I've seen this year.

It was great, but I saw JCVD at about the same time and that movie blew Gran Torino out of the water in my opinion.

I'm going to pick up Gran Torino on blu ray once I actually get a blu ray player. :P

Although the first movie I get and watch on blu ray will have to be Unforgiven. :D

Well, i loved everything except the acting...which was down right horrible. Remember when Walt locked Toad in the basement and he was like screaming to get out? Cringe-worthy. Clint still kicked ass at usual though.
