Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Gran Torino (2008). Clint Eastwood gives a powerful performance in this gripping story of redemption, sacrifice, and unlikely friendship. This film has some heart-wrenching moments and unexpected twists that really showcase Walt and how he is such a complex character.

Directed by Clint Eastwood himself, "Gran Torino" (2008) follows the story of Walt Kowalski, a retired Korean War veteran who forms an unlikely bond with his immigrant Hmong neighbors after a series of events.

Clint Eastwood's portrayal as Walt is filled with nuance, subtle acting moments that let the audience in on what the character is truly going through and recontextualizes who he is by his actions and not his words. Gran Torino is a phenomenal slower film that allows us to slowly connect with a character that isn't all that likable at first.

We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the different elements that made this film so enjoyable. From the incredible acting, to the humorous, touching, and intriguing sequences there's a lot to enjoy here.
