"Gran Torino" is a fine movie that underscores the significance of relationships and how they can overcome racial and cultural differences. I was actually surprised by how funny this film was despite the racial slurs name-calling and foul language. There is nothing surprising about the way this film progresses its just enjoyable to see Walt (Clint Eastwood) warm to his Hmong neighbors. The ending does surprise a bit but it certainly doesn't shock. Eastwood is very engaging and likeable here even though his character is as rough and crusty as they come. His direction is fine although in a film like this I don't think there is a lot of opportunity to wow the viewer.
