Gran Torino

Last night Sara and I used the last of the Cineworld birthday card to go and see Gran Torino, her first (and probably last!) Clint Eastwood film. The fact that Clint both directed, produced and starred in the film is pretty impressive, and you've got to love his character and classic Dirty Harryesque antics, but the guy seriously did himself a disservice when it comes to the casting. The other characters in the film leave a lot to be desired, and the acting is in parts downright atrocious, not to mention a pretty predictable script. Having said that, Clint is bad as, and he is a legend after all, so I guess he can do what he likes...and the car is a beauty, so whether you like the film or not, I guess you can always drool. Should you go and see it? Well, we don't know how many more films he's got in him, so why not? ...just don't take your wife!
