Gran Torino

In spite of his age, Clint Eastwood has not lost his touch as a actor. The movie Gran Torino tells about a Korean veteran who finds himself in a neighborhood of Hmong people from Vietnam. For him all Asians are alike and he has a strong distaste for them. Events in the movie bring about a change of heart. 

This is a powerful movie regarding race relations and the problems of inter-ethnic warfare in American cities. It also uses very strong language. If you are uncomfortable with profanity then this movie is not for you. 

The conclusion is classic Clint Eastwood, but not what you would expect. To tell anymore would ruin the movie for you.
