This movie was GREAT! We bought it and gave it to my boyfriend's father who was in Korea. He reminds us of Clint in the movie.

This is a movie about about Clint Eastwood and the new Hmong neighbors that moved in next to him in Detroit. Clint Eastwood plays a bitter old man that dislikes his own family and anyone else around him. His main prize in life is the Gran Torino that he owns. The Hmong family has family members that causes trouble not only for themselves, but for Clint Eastwood himself. Clint Eastwood settles the score at the end and very good acting by Clint Eastwood.

There's not many Hmong-American movies out there. I think this DVD has a lot of heart, a great anti-gang message, and demonstrate the evolution of a racist mentality to enlightenment.

Another goodie from an oldie. Eastwood excellent as usual. Classic example of suburban prejudice leading to new understandings and unfortunately tragic endings. Eastwood plays a character full of pride in himself and country, who comes up against newcomers, a Hmong family, who at first glance, appear to be aliens in his street/world. Once he gets past his initial prejudice regarding the family, he realises that they are just like any other family, with all their flaws, just like his own. He soon realises that they are victims of crime, trying to avoid the insidious grasp of brutal Detroit streetgangs. He sees a situation that he can change and with a lot of guts, savvy and understanding is able to open everyones eyes. Sadly, life is not always as straightforward nor does it always run smoothly and the choice he makes in the end, in the action he undertakes, serves a twofold purpose - tragic as it is. Good movie, well crafted and well acted.
