Gran Torino was on of Clint Eastwoods' Greatest movies since "The Million Dollar Baby" without qustion. iT WAS ALMOST his most under-rated... movies of all times. I rented the movie first, then after watching it, I went out and **************** then, I have watched "Gran Torino" over a dozen times. I feel like "Gran Torino" could have and should have been promoted twenty times more than it was, before its release at the theater. tHE video stores sure did not have no problems renting it, and it was probably rented and sold 1000 Times more than it was seen at the theater, due to lack or promotion. mY sisters and I could not help but to change the name of the movie, referring to it as "The Retirement of Dirty Harry"!!!! Some people say this was probably the last movie Clint Eatwood will star in as a Actor. Thesepeople might be right, but all of us Clint Eastwood Fans hope not. I'm sure Mr. Eastwood will continue to Direct, Produce, and Write movies forever. I'm 50 years-old, and Clint Eastwood was the Actor and Director I watched and admired since I was a child. Mr. Eastwood will always be my favorite movie Actor and Director of all my and my families life. We hope to see him act in another movie or ten, before he does finally hang his hat up in the Celebrity Hall of Fame...! tHERE will never be another/better Clint Easteood... Thank you for many, many years of entertainment, Charles / Rushi2@aol.com Full Review

A movie at once understated and radical, deceptively unremarkable in presentation and ballsy in its earnestness. Don't let the star's overly familiar squint fool you: This is subtle, perceptive stuff.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Perhaps the best thing about Schenk's script is that it enticed Eastwood to end his self-imposed acting hiatus and bring his one-of-a-kind aura back to the screen.Full Review

Mr. Eastwood is also an adept director of his own performances and, perhaps more important, a canny manipulator of his own iconographic presence.Full Review

Manohla Dargis
The New York Times

Stars Eastwood as an American icon once again -- this time as a cantankerous, racist, beer-chugging retired Detroit autoworker who keeps his shotgun ready to lock and load. Dirty Harry on a pension, we're thinking, until we realize that only the autoworker retired; Dirty Harry is still on the job.Full Review

A lifetime in movies runs through this prime vintage Eastwood performance. You can't take your eyes off him. The no-frills, no-bull Gran Torino made my day.Full Review
