I wasn't that thrilled with the film, it's certainly NOT his best effort, especially considering some of
the fine films he has made in the past 15 years. I did like the co-stars, though it was a bummer there
was quite a bit of stereotyping, including Wally himself. If I had to grade it I'd give it a C+.

Saw a friend that loves Gran Torino the day after I'd seen it and his favorite aspect was that Eastwood reprised
almost every film character he's ever portrayed. So, in a sense it was Eastwood's tribute to himself.

I kind of like that aspect of the film and can appreciate the humor inherent in it.

And, let's face it, if you like CE, you'll like Gran Torino.
