i watched gran torino last week. i won't say it was shit because it's not... but it's nowhere near as good as a lot of people made out.
i found it clumsy, predicatable and quite patronising. it reminded me of crash (haggis not cronenberg) and it's apparently deep revelation that "black people can be racist too". i mean. wow man. i think a lot of us took a good long look in the mirror after being told what to think by that film.
i like clint eastwood as rule but the pacing was all over the place, some weirdly ham-fisted cuts and terrible acting as well.
not shit. but definitely not great.
