Clint Eastwood is back and just the way I like him: tough! “Gran Torino” will likely be Eastwood’s last project in front of the camera, as he’s indicated, so you better get it while you can. This looks like a reachback to his Dirty Harry days which could be awesome. Trailer and plot details for “Gran Torino” below.
Walt Kowalski is a widower, grumpy, tough-minded, borderline-hateful, unhappy old man who can’t get along with either his kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1973 Gran Torino he keeps in cherry condition. When his neighbor Tao, a young Hmong teenager, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Tao’s family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them form the gangs that foul their neighborhood.
