  1. Quality Help-l
  2. Great 4.0

    This film is a perfect tribute to Clint, and it represents the best in what all of us love about Clint’s movies. What could have become a parody because of his age and sometimes perceived lack of applicability in today’s world instead shows that the fundamentals still apply. The macho roughneck guy with a pure heart still wins. After a bit slow of a start, I found myself engrossed and thoroughly enjoying the action, humor, and of course the posturing. The movie keeps you on your toes all the way to a rousing finish.

  3. Very Good 3.5

    Clint was Clint. ’nuff said. As for the supporting cast, nothing special. I did feel the chemistry was good with the young Ahney Her (“Sue”).

  4. Male Stars Very Good 3.5
  5. Female Stars Very Good 3.5
  6. Female Costars Very Good 3.5
  7. Male Costars Very Good 3.5
  8. Really Great 4.5

    I was impressed with how Clint’s legacy blended well in a film that brought even more modern issues and acting in to the storyline. Not everyone could have pulled that off.

  9. Direction Really Great 4.5
  10. Play Really Great 4.5
  11. Music Really Great 4.5
  12. Visuals Really Great 4.5
  13. Content Help-l
  14. Risqué 2.5
  15. Sex Titillating 2.5
  16. Violence Fierce 2.5
  17. Rudeness Salty 2.5
  18. Glib 1.5
  19. Circumstantial Glib 1.5
  20. Biological Glib 1.5
  21. Physical Glib 1.5

Yeah, it really was a triumph considering it was ol’ Clint’s last movie as an actor.

Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
As someone who also thought Gran Torino was Perfect, welcome to the club. Like you said “this is right up there with some of the best movies I’ve ever seen.” I agree, though it’s interesting that several other WikPik reviewers – some of whom I have on my Trusted list – didn’t agree. Go figure.
