Is anyone else looking forward to Clint Eastwood's latest film?

I am, I am sure it's going to be amazing and the reviews from the premier have said it's an awesome film.

Clint Eastwood kicks ass. :tu

Clint has gone from an entertaining actor to one of the finest filmakers in the world. He is truly one of my heroes, and I can't wait to see his newest film.

This looks like a great film, I think the end will be :sad: though

I'd watch any Eastwood movie,,,he just doesn't make a bad one at all. I remember following him around on the golf links Pro Am and this guy is a class act all the way.

*THREAD JACK*

My Brother had a 72 Gran Torino in the mid 80's. It was a mustard yellow POS that he got from my Dad's GF who, get this, NEVER changed the oil but added as needed. Funny thing is it actually ran pretty good. That is until he changed the oil.

*END THREAD JACK*

Yes, I would like to see this movie. It does set up for a sad ending.

There are very few real men left in Hollywood these days.

Clint is still one of them.

The joke growing up was that Clint Eastwood could just walk into a room and women would get pregnant.....:D

i saw it 2 weeks ago. its a good story, as usual he does a great job acting. the man is getting old and u can tell at times, but he still holds his own!

its a little racist at times (mostly asian), with a lot of jokes. but i guess that's what the movie is about. it really has nothing to do with "Cars" but the Gran Torino does play apart of the story.

dont expect to many gun action or to much violence. but u will get an awesome story and connection with the actors.


good ending. good message. and its always great to see Clint :)

my rating: B+

Everyone is racist against something. Anyone can be offended by anything.

We will see it for certain, but will be waiting for the DVD/Blue-ray release. We just don't care for the movie theater scene or crowd of current times.
