    Gran Torino

    Best film I've seen for a long time.

    Clint as his best!

    That's quite an endorsement!
    How would you say it stands up to Eastwood's portrayal of Dr. Hemlock in “The Eiger Sanction”???
    May the forza be with you

    I thought it was a mixed bag.

    First half was great, second half so so - like it wasn't sure whether it wanted to be A History of Violence ie. serious study of male machismo or Falling Down ie. dark comedy/satirical commentary

    I thought it was good. I wouldn't give it 5 stars though.

    I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood so can't wait to see it
    When you're tired of rallying...you're tired of life

    Fantastic movie, and it shows how violence in the end doesn't solve problems, but admitting ones strength to avoid violence will in the end solve the problem. A man who hunted and killed all his life in one form or another learns peace from people he had no time for or respect for through his own ignorance.

    There are so many lessons and morality plays in this movie that I think as time goes on it will stand up for interesting life lessons taught in the movies. I cannot think of another film in the last few years that I have seen that educated, entertained and made you think like this one...
