Produced and directed by Clint Eastwood in 2008. He also stars.Widower and Korean War vet is disgruntled by society in general and specifically about how ethnic his old neighborhood has become. After a teenager from next door tries to steal Eastwood's vintage '72 Gran Torino, the boy's family, especially his sister, wins Eastwood over to the extent that he befriends them.
At times comic, at times tragic, Gran Torino is a little heavy handed. But Eastwood and the entire supporting cast are fine and the film won me over just for its message and heart.
