Gran Torino

Post by Invisible Evil »

Man...This was a great movie.

I listen to people talk about movies and say things like "it gave me chills" and "I was breathless"
Although I didn't loose my breath I did get chills in the scene where the kid (tao) asks what its like to kill a man....
Eastwood turns and in his hard ass voice says "You don't wanna know"
I had a chill come down my spine....
In any case I recommend checking the movie out.

It has really alot of humor in it also...Which I thought was cool.


Just a good flick...Best I have personally watched since the Departed.

That's funny, because all I've heard from the local radio stations is that it was very poorly acted. The reviews are OK on it from reviewers, but the the users seem to love it.

I like it too but it wasn't at all what I expected. Started off slow but gets better. Ol' Clint's not exactly "Dirty Harry" anymore but definitely makes a great grumpy ol' man. His facial expressions are priceless.
