A little slice of life in a rundown neighborhood, where a racist lives next to a Hmong family. Good development, slightly on an over-romantic view of change, but realistic and gritty enough to feel the character's emotions. Another win for Clint.—Paul ( ) A racist Korean War vet has a sweet car; or, The Inverted Karate Kid. My memory of everything good about the movie was very nearly erased as soon as Eastwood started singing, but not quite.

Walt Kowalski is a widower who holds onto his prejudices despite the changes in his Michigan neighborhood and the world around him. Walt is a grumpy, tough-minded, unhappy old man, who can't get along with either his kids or his neighbors. He is a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1972 Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbor, Thao, a young Hmong teenager, becomes pressured by his gang member cousin to steal Walt's Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Thao's family, Walt is soon taking steps to protect them from the gangs that infest their neighborhood. No library descriptions found. |
