Gran Torino

I was surprised by this Clint Eastwood offering. I wasn't expecting what I got. Clint is a crotchety old man who just lost his wife. His neighbourhood has changed over the years and is now multi-cultural. Clint's pride and joy is his mint (both in condition and colour) Gran Torino. Clint hates his Korean neighbours but, over the course of the movie, learns about them and accepts them, although he wouldn't admit it. I won't spoil anything but the ending is unlike any Clint Eastwood movie ever made. Not what you'd expect. Not at all. 1 star1 star1 star.5 star (W)
