Best Clint Eastwood film
I really am disgusted with the Oscars for not being able to recognize a film like this or Valkerie in the same year. Unbelievable. Clint Eastwood’s perfect film.

One of the best movies I’ve seen this year
This movie, Gran Torino, completely held my attention for the entire time it played. This is Clint Eastwood at his best, both acting and directing.

Good depiction of a 70-something bigot
Clint Eastwood’s performance is what you’d expect. We enjoyed the film and it’s message even with it’s flaws. Eastwood’s politically incorrect lines were hilarious at times.

Not Good
Not a good movie. Not horrible, but Clint Eastwood plays the same tough-guy character he plays in every movie. Predictable, unbelievable plot. I couldn’t finish it.

Disappointing and predictable
Not what I had expected from a Clint Eastwood movie. The characters were wooden, the plot predictable, the central character a cliche. Not worth renting.

In this movie Eastwood plays a geriatric bigot named Walt Kowalski who goes through a change of heart in how he regards and treats his next door neighbors in a gang plagued area…

IT DESREVED A GOLDEN STATUTE
I won’t go into too much detail because so many others have written how good this movie is. ONE OF CLINT’S BEST! I’m so disappointed it was snubbed for an oscar. EXCELLENT!
