Gran Torino: Review By SCREENWRITER

I saw this movie way back when it came out, and I never really had the strength to write a review for it. I liked the movie, but for some reason...I didn't want to write a review for it. I must be lazy, I guess. lol. I saw this movie, and really enjoyed it. People were going on and on about how great this movie was...so I had to go and see it. I didn't think this movie was as great as people were saying, but this movie is still good and worth the watch. So, I went to the movies to see this with my dad and really expected a great Clint Eastwood film! I got that, but I still would've liked more from this movie AND a better ending. I wasn't too fond of how it ended.

Did you ever notice that Clint Eastwood plays the same 'badass' character in all of his movies. Well, he does. He does a great job doing it, but enough is enough. I hate seeing him ALWAYS play the 'Dirty Harry' character. I wanna see Clint play a nice guy for once, but I heard that this was his last time on screen, so I don't think I will.

This movie was good, only worth four stars though. This movie is just another movie, to me, it was nothing special. It is worth the see...but maybe on DVD. I know that I gave this four stars, but, I still find it as a DVD film.

ACTING:

The acting in this was good. It wasn't horrible. Some of the people who played the gang members were sort of horrible but, they wearn't that huge in their role so I wasn't too much bothered. So, good acting.

VISUALS:

This isn't a very 'visual' type movie other than the car in this. The car in this movie was sweet but thats all the visual pretty much.

DIRECTION:

Clint always directs good and if there is one good thing he can do better than acting it is directing.

OVERALL:

Overall, this movie is good. I recommend it. It may not be a great movie to love but it is still good. This movie deserves four stars.

OVERALL GRADE: B
