GRAN TORINO

MY VIEW:
Once again Clint Eastwood makes a great movie! The acting was well done. Clint Eastwood is still Clint Eastwood. This movie made me laugh and watch how he built a relationship with his neighbors, which ended up better than the relationship he had with his family. This was a great movie...go see it!!

SYNOPSIS:
Clint Eastwood stars as Walt Kowalski, a widower who holds onto his prejudices despite the changes in his Michigan neighborhood and the world around him. Kowalski is a grumpy, tough-minded, unhappy an old man, who can't get along with either his kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1972 Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbor Tao, a young Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang member cousin, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Tao's family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them from the gangs that infest their neighborhood.
