I thought Gran Torino sucked! I was anticipating his film, as have I always, but it focused to much on his growling and not enough on his acting.

I haven’t seen it yet, will probably wait till it’s on DVD.

No sure if I’ll agree with your assessment. I’ve been a fan since Clint’s days wearing a poncho, and not saying much, for Sergio Leone.

I have to agree with you. Clint's character was great, but virtually every other actor in the movie sucked and sucked bad. The story might have been much better if there had been more convincing actors. And the ending was a little silly.

Haven't seen the movie but I'd probably agree with you if I had!

I liked Eastwood as Rowdy Yates, and he is an appealing personality. I've never liked his movies though. "Unforgiven" and "In the Line of Fire" wern't terrible, but I found them disappointing.

That flick he did a couple of years ago about the girl boxer totally turned me off. I didn't go see it but my daughter did, and she confirmed it was all-around lousy, even if one agreed with Eastwood's premise.
