Gran Torino Review

    Clint Eastwood is oscar worthy in his role as a racist old man who learns to love.  

   Eastwood playes a disgruntled Korean War vet Walt Kowalski sets out to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino.   Without giving a way too many spoilers I will just say that Clints acting and directing has never been better.   If it wasnt for him , this movie would not be anywhere near as good as it is.   Almost everything about it is amazing.  The only con is some of the foriegners who are acting in the film come of as very stiff.  Almost like they are reading their lnes off a teleprompter.  Other than that, this film is a fantastic story of a man who learns to love.
