I don't go to the movies very often (usually wait for the DVD to come out) but since I've always been a Clint Eastwood fan I made an exception and saw Gran Torino in the theater.  I was definitely not disappointed.  The story is so involving that the time just flew by.  Even my husband, who usually has a very short attention span, was completely into the movie.  The characters are well defined, human and realistic and the storyline is logical and easy to follow.  I think Eastwood is at his best in this movie.  He gives a great performance that is multi-dimensional.
