Gran Torino (DVD)

Working on both sides of the camera lens, Clint Eastwood is class in both roles of lead actor and director of Gran Torino. The story evolves him playing the bitter and mentally-scarred Korea veteran - Walt Kowalski. He likes to keep to himself and is far from impressed when his entire neighborhood becomes full of Chinese people. Constantly swearing, blaspheming and ever so slightly racist, Kowalski likes nothing better than to sit on his porch with a cold beer and his dog Daisy by his side.
At first he is cold and steers clear of his neighbors unless they go anywhere near his property, but later befriends his neighbors and protects them from the Hmong gangs that terrorize the whole neighborhood.

This is a really super film, some important issues addressed and great to see the relationships develop between people who at first could not appear more different. Eastwood is superb as the stone cold Walt and there are also some good performances from the supporting cast. I found it a fascinating watch and very memorable.

Looking more and more like a battered old granite sculpture, Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this lightweight drama about a former Korean War hero who finds his racial prejudices put under strain when he becomes involved in the troubled lives of his Asian neighbours. Clint, who says this will be his last film as an actor, gives a very watchable performance. And there are some good laughs among the violent bits.

great price,fast postage,a great seller,would buy from this seller again a real credit to ebay.great film very enjoyable,clint eastwood at is best

Superb film with Eastwood doing what he does best, hard man vigilante and any film with a vintage Gran Torino in is fine by me. Maybe the ending could have been better thought out but this doesn't distract from it being a great movie.

I've always liked Clint Eastward from his early spaghetti western days and this film supposedly his last in front of the camera was great. At first I thought it wasn't going to be my kind of film but as I watched, his character grew and the film different from anything else he has made,got better with a little twist at the end.I'm glad I bought it and will watch again some time in the future.

I'm Sure Gran Torino IS A Good Film, I Would Love To Comment On It, But The Only Problem Is I Never Recieved It, I Certainly Won't Buy Anything Else From This Seller Again.

The movie starts quite typically, the racial tension of an old man stuck in his ways, useless family and even worse grand kids, all trying to get along in the fish tank we all call life. The story moves along at a fair pace and its never going to take you places you have not been a thousand times before, think Karate kid or some such similar film, but what makes it different is the endearing nature of Eastwood in the lead role, its also refreshing to see modern life through the eyes of the older generation. Where the film slipps is in the acting of Eastwoods side kick, he comes across as a spoilt kid on christmas day, he knows hes got to be there, but wants to make it known hes not happy. Overall the film was a great story and easy to sit down and watch, but as I say, just dont go expecting some great movie revelations, nothing in this movie will move you to change your life drastically, give up your wordly goods and join greenpeace, its just a nice film to watch maybe with dad, where he can repeatedly point at the screen and inform you that some older people can still defend themselves against these hoodies he's been reading about in the Daily Mail.

A REAL MUST FOR EASTWOOD FANS, WILL BE IN THE LIST OF HIS GREATEST FILMS, A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE WITH A SOMETIMES GENTLE BUT MOVING STORY....

Gr8 dvd :D Family friend loves this film, so bought it for his xmas, gr8 seller, cheap prices very happy

WOW WHAT A STORY A PROPPER FILM. EXCELLENT STORY WITH NO NEED FOR GIMICKS. if you are longing for a gritty film with a story that will stand up for itself. then bye this movie. it keeps you watching with little supprises and clint style jokes, the only regret is i should have bought it sooner. this film high lights how every one needs to grow up and stop looking at skin collour or faith and look at the person, then you'll realise that theres always a bigger fish you shouldn't mess with and as always its clint. i was left speachless by the endding. ENJOY !

Clint at his best, even at his age!! Great film and even better the second time around too. A bit of a slow film to begin with as the story builds and unfolds. The ending is not what you'd expect either! A must see DVD!

Clint Eastwood at his very best, fantastic movie . First viewed on sky box office but I had to have my own copy. Great story with a good twist ending.

TO BE QUITE HONEST, I EXPECTED THIS FILM TO BE 50 TIMES BETTER THAN EXPECTED, BUT FAILED FOR ME. CLINT EASTWOOD DIRECTED THIS MOVIE, STARRED IN AND ALSO SUNG PART OF THEME TUNE (JAMIE CULLUM DID OTHER VERSION). SET IN SUBURB OF AMERICAN CITY, HE LOSES WIFE AND STRUGGLES TO ADAPT TO FOREIGN NEIGHBORS.WON,T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT THOUGHT CERTAIN MEMBERS OF CAST WERE VERY WEAK IN THE ACTING DEPARTMENT, NOT CLINT THOUGH. 5 OUT OF 10 FOR ME.

Clint at his best.
A truely excellent movie and a great one for Clint Eastwood to end his acting career on. This ranks as one of Eastwoods finest films; its deep, thoughtfull, moving and its dark humour at times made me laugh. This is in no way a comedy but Eastwoods dry, straight-forward delivery was a joy to witness.

Eastwoods plays an ex-soldier coming to terms with his wifes death. His sons, daughter inlaws and grandchildren are not that close to him and they struggle to communicate with him due to his being crumpy and 'set in his ways'. He is also somewhat of a racist but his attitude slowly warms to an Asian family living next door when he rescues their son from a local gang. The plot slowy thickens but i wont spoil it any further.

The characters are deep and meaningful, the script is absorbing with elements of dark humour, the acting is excellent and the story never becomes too predictable.

Best film I have seen in a long while.

I loved Clint Eastwoods movies when he was younger & I was a bit unsure if I'd like this or not with his voice being so husky now as I thought it would irrate the living day light out of me after an hour or so of it, but Gran Torino was FANTASTIC! Not all the acting is great but it doesn't take away from the great story line & it was so funny as well as being shocking & hearbreaking. I would recommend this film, its a definate must see.

Terrific movie, Eastwood is brilliant as a korean war veteran who after the death of his wife comes to terms with his Korean neighbours, and his love ..his 1972 Gran Torino car.

I loved this film, I would highly recommend viewing at earliest possible moment. Brings together two cultures, old and young and how the world is viewed through changing values and respect. Brilliant job by Clint Eastwood.

Been looking for the DVD for a while. One I wanted to own not just watch at the pictures, it has been round the family.

Clint Eastwood at his best. Diffinate under tones of all his latest films, Heartbreak Ridge, Any which way. Diffinately a film to watch, you will either love or hate it.

I have to say the film was better than i expected, clints last acting role suited him and the film had a serious but funny side to it. A worth while watch

Brilliant!
100% worth watching for anyone, very enjoyable!
Brillaint acting and very good storyline.

Gran Torino is an amazing film

I bought this fime because I am a Clint fan and i heard lots of good things before the film was released.

Although i felt there was 'something missing' I would still recommend as a very good film and personally i would give it 8/10
