Review:
Its hard to judge which Clint Eastwood movie is his best, but this one ranks up there. Gran Torino is the perfect movie for Eastwood. He plays his character perfect and through him this movie is one of the year's best. His demeanor, prejudice and anger fuels this movie into a great film. Eastwood also brings some comedy in this one and its a delight to see. Recommended to all.


Rating: 5/5
