Film Review - GRAN TORINO by CLINT EASTWOOD

GRAN TORINO
Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood

By SETH ROGOVOY, editor-in-chief and critic-at-large, BERKSHIRE LIVING Magazine

He's a crabby old coot, a misanthrope who growls and talks to himself, who hates what his neighborhood and the world around him has turned into. He's old Clint Eastwood, and if the heart-of-gold beneath the crusty exterior thing has been overplayed, it works splendidly here, as Clint serves up his image on a sacrificial altar, in the service of a new, Obama-era America.
