Went to watch Gran Torino with Cheryl, Marc, Wayne and GX yesterday. This film is actually named after its "star car"--a 1972 Ford Gran Torino--so I figured the titular vehicle must play a key role. Plus, I was intrigued by the unconventional choice for the automotive "lead."
Well the start of the movie was a tad slow. For people who enjoy action or thriller movies, the poster might be a tad misleading. When we asked what is the movie about, the lady said this,

"Its about him. *point to the poster* Him, the story is about him."

So we made the assumption that the movie was an action movie. Well part of it was due to the poster. So after the movie we realise that it is about him, which the story revolves around the car, the 1972 gran torino, and some Hmong people(immigrants from Southeast Asia).

There's the car. Ain't she a beauty?

An interesting plot i must say. Though there's too much of the F*** and some other words...

A dark humour, heart warming yet heart wrenching movie i must say. Love the plot but it's a little to slow for me.
