Reviews of Gran Torino 2008
-
The old man does not like gooks or zipperheads.

O meu comparsa Bruer sabe metade das falas do filme de cor e salteado e já há muito mo tinha recomendado mas fui protelando até ao dia em que por acaso esbarrei com ele no zapping. Muito bom. Não me recordo de ninguém que rosne também quanto Eastwood neste papel.

I just loved this film . Clint Eastwood's caracther is so funny , those racist comments and the way he treats the hmong is very funny . I think they could have choose a better 'Thao' , the actor was really bad .

These people who address everyone, every time, with racial…

This film is terrific. Clint Eastwood is at it again and I have finally come to the conclusion that in this stage of his life it is impossible for him to make a bad movie. In the past 5 years he has directed great films such as Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima, Changeling, and Gran Torino. So many great movies in such a short period of time. Eastwood seems to be like…

This is the movie that inspired my dad to constantly growl like Clint Eastwood at any given moment while hitching his pants up.
