Gran Torino

Short review

After his wife's death Walt is looking for a new target in life. His family left him alone, his grandkids just want his money and lately some Asians moved into the house next to his. He can't stand the world anymore.

But then by mistake he rescues the life of one of his neighbors when he wants to scare some gang members off his loan. The neighbors appreciate it and fit him into her community. And Walt finds a new chance to change - which is to make the shy boy Thao a tough guy with a job and some self esteem.

But Walt doesn't have a clue what he's doing when he pisses on the legs of the gang members he scared off earlier and he also is struggeling with cancer that is killing him faster than he thought.

I was sceptical watching "Gran Torino" but it turned out a really good movie in the end. A bit funny, a bit drama and a story that could be kinda taken outta daily life. And Clint Eastwood - well you gotta like him somehow to like his movies. I don't but I give him alot of credit for this one!
