(Clint Eastwood) confronts a troubled Hmong teen attempting to steal his prized Gran Torino. Slow but touching and worthwhile.
In a crime-ridden Detroit neighborhood, that has converted a white working-class into a Asian (Hmong) enclave, a grumpy old Korean War veteran confronts a troubled teen attempting to steal his prized Gran Torino. The old dog is willing to learn new tricks, and expose his humanity to those that treat others well and a community that treats the elderly with a certain respect.

In a crime-ridden Detroit neighborhood, that has converted a white working-class neighborhood into an Asian (Hmong) enclave, a grumpy and recently widowed old Korean War veteran and hold-out Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) confronts a troubled Hmong teen attempting to steal his prized Gran Torino: the car that represents his happier days working on the Ford assembly line.

Walt is dealing with lingering resentments, a willingness to hurl racist epithets, and yet the old dog is willing to learn new tricks, and expose his humanity.

He shows everyone what it means to protect your country and community from wrong-doers: while being wise enough to know the difference between little wrongs and big wrongs.

It's touching, a little slow, but has a great message, and I feel like a better person for loving the film.
