A story that looks superficial to start but grows and provokes thought and introspection as it rolls along. A good second take on where political correctness and multiculturalism often causes more problems than solutions. In the end, it's just different and you are left to decide if it's good or bad. It's a solid character study.
Accurate commentary on generation gap meets culture gap. The result isn't black and white. It's multi-layered and complex, more like real life than Hollywood's interpretation. Eastwood is sensational as the mourning, disenchanted racist who sees his world changed in every way, none good.

There's drama, humor and poignant takes on modern life seen thru the eyes of an old man, young immigrants and the lost generation of children in this country who mistake thuggery for pride and violence as an acceptable solution to everything.

We expected more from Gran Torino and from Clint Eastwood. It was extremely predictable. The story line seemed like it was written by someone trying to create relevance to a younger, "hip," demographic- but this attempt only reminded me of an after school special. The movie seemed as though it was trying and reaching- but failing over and over. Don't mean to be harsh, but we were really disappointed. And as before mentioned, we expected a lot more.
