REVIEW: Gran Torino

Plot: Walt Kowolski, a war veteran, is an old, cantankerous man who lives alone. His Hmong neighbours are under threat by a neighbourhood gang, who originally tries to lure naive Thao(from nextdoor) to steal Walt's most prized posession, his 1972 Gran Torino, a stunning vintage car.

Clint Eastwood delivers again and this time he deserves a standing ovation. He takes on a very apt role as a conclusion to his long and successful career. 'Dirty Harry' proves that old guys can be cool and amazing. In this masterpiece, Eastwood skillfully takes on the roles of lead actor, director, composer and vocalist. He remains a legend and this one proves the point yet again.

Rating: 4/5
