IIRC this (movie) story supposedly occurred in California. Not that it matters much, the justice system doesn’t work in many places, and certainly not in places where there are gangs. That’s why they thrive where they do.
Liberal ending to the movie, lots of useless tears for the victim, and great hope for the continued freedom of the killers once the bump in the road of the token effort to bring them to justice was behind them.
Those guys were out by the time of his funeral.
I’ve been a Clint Eastwood fan as long as anyone here, and probably longer than most, and it was one of the most disappointing movies of his I’ve ever seen.
Most of his movies included the bad guys brought to justice.
Not here.
Those guys were out by the time of his funeral.
There is a good chance that in the real world that would happen but that is not in the movie.
The movie ends with the reading of the will and the Hmong kid driving the Gran Torino. There is nothing about the gang after their arrest.
Movies are a chance to escape reality for an hour or two why mess up a good movie by reading in to it what isn’t there?
