Watched it for the first time in awhile last night. Reminded again of how good of a movie it is. Easily one of my favorite movies of the last 10 years.

Clint Eastwood is great.

Good movie. My 74 Gran Torino sport was a hell of a car.

Agreed. Good performances by pretty much everyone in that movie except Eastwood's douchebag son.

Are you kidding? The film was thoroughly unlikable, Clint's worst by far.

I don't care about a story of punk mexican and asian gang-bangers stirring up trouble in suburbia. They epitomize what's wrong with this country, stupid foreigners thinking it's cool to act like black ghetto thugs.

This is supposed to be good film making?

That young white kid being hassled by blacks was Clint's real life son.

Not nearly enough Seinfeld references for my taste, 3/10. Would not watch again.

If this is what you really think at least have the decency to use "suppose" at the end.

This makes me feel even better about liking the film.

Rube is right about this film being terrible. Caricatures and Death Wish lite fantasy. The Hmong actors were awful and the exchange of insults between Walt and his barber was one of the most unnatural things I've seen on film.

You somehow came off as even a worse poster than Rube in this thread. This movie is teriffic, and the scenes with the barber were hilarious.

Agreed. I loved when the Jewish black guy kept talking about Rocky Marciano.
