Clint Eastwood, Bee Vang, Christopher Carley
2008
After a Hmong teenager tries to steal his prized 1972 Gran Torino, a disgruntled, prejudiced Korean War veteran seeks to redeem both the boy and himself.
Well, this one sure struck a chord with me. It's got that realness I reckon folks who've served in the military would appreciate. Clint Eastwood, he plays this grumpy old vet who ain't looking to be friends with nobody. But life has a way of throwing ya a curve, and he ends up helpin' out his neighbors. It ain't all action, but it's got heart and some good Southern sensibilities. Solid story.
