Looks like a cool movie. Wonder what the car has to do with it. Clint Eastwood is one of the great actors/directors of our time.

BTW - I love that body style of Gran Torino. There was a bad ass PT style one in Hot Rod a few months ago.

I am going to be hated for this, but this movie looks terrible. He is THE man, no question of that, but the premise looks dumb. An old man beating up on a bunch of asian ricers… c’mon now. I hope that Ford gets some use though.

I am happy to see Clint back in a baddass’s role. I will check it out for sure.

If any old man is gonna kick some young punk’s ass its got to be Clint.

this movie is 10/10, just as i said dirty harry retired except he is a old ford worker 🤣  
it’s probably not to be funny, worth the watch !  
can’t f uck with good ole eastwood. 🍺

If this movie included black folks as the plot, Naacp would be boycotting it right now and would hear much more about this. jesse jackson would be on podium speaking his nonsense.  
but guess what, it’s about asians this time where is the boycotts ???hmm :eek: OH NOES !

not out till 1-09-09 but here’s the bootleg dvd quality

I will not ride the man’s nuts like you simply because of who he is. I enjoy Eastwood as an actor and even more so as a director. But this movie is a flaming pile of \*\*\*\* and won’t be regarded in any positive light for him outside of another movie and a paycheck.

The trailer def. depicts the movie to be a lot different… Very good movie and gives a lot to think about. I would def. recommend watching.

I finally got to sit down and watch it…and it was great. Clint is really that good. Although I think it pulled up a little when dealing with certain ethnic groups.

for those of you that enjoyed Gran torino check out this:
