 Thought it was OK............typical of Clint movies these days........mostly about interpersonal relationships.

Indeed, btw going back to see the Wall this summer.. he upped the setup now so it fits a stadium and not an indoor arena.

Should be great

Mikael,  Eastwood has a amazing career with huge ups and downs. The start with "Rawhide" was good. Everyone loved the themes with "Rowdy Yates"   Young buck just out of the Army who caught a break. Got to drive a herd of cows to acting  recognition

He caught a huge break by not acting much in "Spaghgetti" Westerns.Then he was terrible as a actor in the "Dirty Harry" garbage shows.  Possibly the worst acting and movies of all time!!   But then it turned.

He started doing better stuff.  Eventually he did "Unforgiven" and "Letters from Iwo Jima"  Genius movies.  His movies since then are character assassination. He did some good stuff but now he should stop. The public still applauds his recent crap movies but they really aren't that good.

I thought Grand Torino was good , but i think nature will take its turn. He is 82 so i do not see him doing more than 1 maybe 2 more movies.

 Ya, those "Dirty Harry" police dramas really KILLED Eastwood's movie career

I thought the movie was just okay. My memory isn't the best but I would say his best movies were:

1. In The Line Of Fire
2. Million Dollar Baby
3. Heartbreak Ridge
4. The Outlaw Josey Wales
5. Kelly's Heroes

 Should be excellent.............I'm somewhat pissed that I didn't know he was gonna double-back to Seattle. I would've much rather seen the show at the Key Arena instead of the Tacoma Dome............couldn't get anyone to buy tix with me for the 2nd show so I skipped it.

Mikael,  Everyone  has their opinion and mine is that Eastwood should direct movies because he is so good at that but stop the acting unless he is willing to play the co star in smaller roles and be the elder statesman that his fans can love and hold on to. 

He peaked at the highest apex with "Unforgiven" and then amazed with "Letters from Iwo Jima" and he probably isn't gonna reach that level again. Who does?  He can do what he wants for sure.

You're right. Just watched it. Was beginning to dose off half way through. Awful movie.

I think most everyone DID like the ending where the arrogant high school star "power hitter"gets exposed by the Hispanic pitcher kid "Peanut Boy" as having "trouble with the curve". THAT was EXCELLENT and the only decent story line in the movie. too bad we had to sit thru almost two hours of "tripe" to get to it

Gran Torino was worth watching.   I wish he would play a evil role just to do something different.
