Gran Torino

Gran Torino

2008

Crusty, inflexible Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) must confront his Hmong immigrant neighbors – and his own long-held prejudices – when the family's teen son, Thao, tries to steal Walt's beloved 1972 Gran Torino. Walt soon assumes the unlikely role of guardian angel to young Tao and his sister, who are vulnerable to disturbing gang influences in this intimate drama from 78-year-old director Eastwood.

  • Another great film by one of my favorite actor/directors, Clint Eastwood. Very powerful look at life, death and redemption. Unexpectedly funny and emotional. Keep 'em coming Clint!
