Gran Torino

"With the marks of time deeply etched into his face, actor and director Clint Eastwood may present in 'Gran Torino' one of his most memorable works -- perhaps also his most sensitive and painful. Unjustly ignored during awards season, including an unbelievable snub for Best Actor and Best Film at the Oscars, 'Gran Torino' moves with the story of a war veteran who takes to "looking after" a neighboring Oriental family that is constantly harassed and even violently assaulted by gangs in the area. With a powerful and hard-hitting performance from Clint, as well as a direction that pays attention to the details of the veteran responsible for films like 'Million Dollar Baby' and 'Unforgiven', the feature film is a gift for those who enjoy good stories about friendship, sensitivity and breaking down prejudices."
