Clint Squints... Learns Valuable Life
Lessons... Squints Again... Imparts Valuable
Life Lessons... Squints Again... Snarls...
Squints... Blah... Blah... Blah...
If there ever was a heavy-handed, poorly
written and horridly acted movie, that still
managed some semblance of watchability, then
"Gran Torino" is most certainly it.
I am chuckling to
myself as I write this review, remembering
all the cheesy lines, clichéd characters and
stiff deliveries -- and still, I am unable
to hate this film. It had a certain
something that kept me from looking at my
watch to see when I could buy some
Raisinettes to get that taste out of my
mouth.
That certain
something goes by the name of Clint
Eastwood. After all, that is the only
thing this film really has going for it...
Clint being Clint. He is ultimately
watchable, even in an after-school special
like "Gran Torino".
I don't have the
energy to muster up a plot recap. Just
know this -- everything about this film is
lame. The only reason I am not
lambasting this film is because I am afraid
Clint Eastwood might stumble across this
review and have me "eliminated" from this
world just by squinting hard enough.
He can do that you know.
