Gran Torino

No nonsense master filmmaker Clint Eastwood delivers two award worthy films in one year where most manage to do one. After the period drama "Changeling," he made this film in a month or two which is one of his most entertaining film in years. In this film he addresses the issue of racism and never misses a beat. Besides directing and producing, he stars in this one which vintage Eastwood at his best. Eastwood delivers a nuanced performance that builds on his previous efforts from "Million Dollar Baby" to the Dirty Harry films. Eastwood never pretended to be a method actor with a range but the guys he played were second to none. He's still the king of cool looking for a redemption. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
