Gran Torino

Here is an interesting review that deals with the racial aspects of this movie.

http://www.racialicious.com/2009/01/...int/#more-2181

I am not an Eastwood fan. I think he is one of the most overrated of the Hollywood types and it seems to me that if you achieve some longevity, you're automatically labeled a genius. I've never thought he was much of an actor (since he's the poster child of the ever popular Whisper Method School of Acting) and think he is highly overrated as a director. I was going to skip this movie as a Grumpy Old Dirty Harry throwaway piece of crap, but now I'm willing to give it another change (although, it will probably be via dvd or HBO).

Anyone see it and have thoughts?
