The Clint Eastwood I love is the cowboy Clint. I never cared for the Dirty Harry Clint or any of his other Clint personas. That’s not to say his non-western films are no good its just that I think Clint as Josey Wales is about the best Clint ever. Grand Torino is Dirty Harry Clint in retirement, well past his prime but still doing what he does best…snarl out tough one liners with gun in hand, like, “..feeling lucky punk?” and in this case, “Get off my lawn!” Word has it this is Clint’s last film. I would have loved to see him go out in a western…. but that’s not my call. So if this is it, farewell Clint, its been a good ride.
A note to theater owners: You should not allow any male over 65 to see this movie, especially if he is a Viet Nam vet. After seeing it he might have the illusion he’s tough. He might go off and do something stupid. You could get sued for aiding and abetting.

Ger, I'm over 65 have just seen the movie. I was thinking of kicking some young stupid asses before I saw Clint.
This is not his last, sorry he can't be a cowboy for you always. John was not always a cowboy... always.
Get over it! Good movie! Good acting. How bout pink cadillac.. A Clint pussy film???
