Film 54 "Gran Turino" IMDB No. 95

Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone.


2008 Client Eastwood
Walt Kowalski is a recently widowed grumpy retired middle america ex-Korean retired vet. He used to work for Ford and built the '72 Gran Turino that sits in his garage. The neighbourhood he lives in has changed, once a modern suburbia for working class americans, now full of Hmong immigrants. Clint plays Walt perfectly, a racist old biggot that doesn't believe in god and harks for the old days.
Walt's neighbour has problems with local gang members and Walt takes him under his wing, eventually.
I won't give away the ending, but I enjoyed this film a lot.
8/10
