I have seen this movie referred to as...Gunny Highway meets Grumpier Old Men...and meant as a compliment.

I watched this last night. Awesome, powerful movie. Clint is the man.

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long while. Clint will win the best actor award for this one.

Clint Eastwood makes this movie great. I felt that way about Swing Vote too: Costner was the draw--fabulous. Although Gran Torino is the better movie. Slow-paced but powerful. I'm still laughing at the scenes where Thao learns to act like a guy.

Don't pick fights with old guys, if they can't beat you, they'll have to kill you.

My kids bought the same vintage (72) Gran Torino a few years back to hot rod. I think I will de-safe my Garand and stand in front of it and have a picture took.

I finally saw this...thing...so cliched! and so kitchen sink-—pure schlock—I hope he got it off his chest-—that crucifixion parody was unnecessary too

He threw everything (nothing) into that sop of a picture.

I can say this: My Dad's veteran buddies never talked that garbage. Hey Clint a hint: Korea didn't make your character so glum and mean-—50 years at FORD probably did.
