Gran Torino
Gran Torino
2008. Dir. and starring Clint Eastwood.
2 hours.
Clint Eastwood makes his self-proclaimed final acting appearance in Gran Torino, about a recently widowed Korean War vet struggling to co-exist with his new Asian-American neighbours. Eastwood ends up getting involved his the Asian gangs in Detroit, leading to bloody results.
The problem with the film is that Eastwood overly plays his character, leading his sternness to come off as parody. His Asian co-stars are fairly good for being mostly amateurs, but Eastwood drags it down as he growls lines like "Get off my lawn."
Not terrible, but not up to par with Eastwood's recent masterpieces.
2 1/2 stars.
Saw by myself at the Mayfair.
