Rating: 7.0/10Genre: Action Drama
Overall value for money and time: 7.5/10
There are times where I don't totally agree with majority of online reviews. This movie is one of them. This falls close to Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which I think are overrated movies. But where Curious Case didn't have a climax, Gran Torino had one, making this movie more superior than the former. However, all in all, it's prominently a dialogue driven movie that might bore some to sleep. A grumpy korean war veteran (Clint Eastwood) unknowingly helps bring justice and reform his neighbour's son (Thao) in a dangerous neighbourhood. The nicknames that Clint Eastwood calls Thao are exceptionally amusing. This movie reminds me of Rocky Balboa, both of which spans around an aged and almost outcasted individual who is struggling to keep up with society. Clint doesnt want to make a mark for himself, but he unknowingly opens himself towards Thao who gives him a reason for living. This is a soul hearted movie which may appeal to some, but not to others. Though I might belong to one of the "others", I would still reccommend this movie to those who are in for a heart felt movie. This movie doesnt have a twisted plot, nor are there blockbuster actions in them, but it's on of those feel good movie which might just work for you.
