Gran Torino (2008)
10/10
Pure genius
23 July 2018
I'm not a fan of westerns, nor have I watched any other Clint Eastwood films so I came to this one with an unbiased mind.

Our protagonist (or should that be antagonist?) is not the most likeable fellow. His constant racist/offensive comments are more comical than malicious but I certainly wouldn't recommend this film if you are easily offended (like the reviewers must have been that scored this film anything less than 8!).

This film is so well-made, well-paced and there are some life lessons along the way. Not your typical revenge film but definitely has that feel by the end. It reminds me of 187, which is an extremely underrated film starring Samuel L Jackson. If you like that film, you will love this I'm sure.

I laughed, cried and reflected a lot. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
