Didn't know that, now I really want to watch it. Will try to download first though.

can't wait to see this one.

cant turn down a Clint Eastwood movie.

Due to such an amateur supporting cast, Eastwood is forced to carry the entire movie on his back. I appreciate the fact that so many first time actors were given the opportunity to work in a mainline movie like this but with a few changes in the writing and characters (most notably, the gangsters) this movie could have been great. Sadly, for me, this movie was one step away from being a bad made for tv movie. I would, however, recommend it for Eastwoods performance because he does give a memorable one. My other criticism is that i would have liked to see the Gran Torino play a more significant role in the story. Unless your like me and love Eastwood, i would suggest waiting for dvd.

I thought aside from the weak supporting cast the movie was purely top notch. Great directing, strong writing and Eastwood gave an incredibly powerful performance.

Agree. Though I did feel it started out a lot stronger than it ended. Still worth the watch.

I thought that too. The end was a bit derivative. But still solid.

Tried to go see it on Christmas but it was a zoo. is it worth while??

I was told to wait for the DVD. It really isn't a high caliber Eastwood movie.

He uses an M-1 Garand in the movie; it's .30 rounds are fairly high caliber.

Eastwood's performance was awesome. Too bad the same cant be same for the rest of the cast. I didnt like the ending too much.

You know i would have highly disagreed with that statement hadn't Eastwood ended the movie with himself singing a song 😘

lol, considering everything it really is a well made movie. I wasn't to impressed with the film but i acknowledge the first time cast that Eastwood went with as well as the short amount of time he had on the movie. It's just a small movie that i believe never intended to do to much and because of Eastwoods performance, maybe accomplished a little more than it should have.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks kind of horrible? I don't know, maybe it's just me, but a movie about a grumpy old racist doesn't seem that appealing to me. Also I don't like Clint Eastwood very much as an actor in his more recent films.

Pure vintage eastwood, the funniest film of 2008 , for me at least
