What?
Awards and nominations
Gran Torino was recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the Ten Best Films of 2008.[18] Clint Eastwood's performance has also garnered recognition. He won an award for Best Actor from the National Board of Review,[19] he is currently nominated for the Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critics' Choice Awards) and by the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association for Best Actor.[20][21] An original song from the film, "Gran Torino", was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song. The music is by Clint Eastwood, Jamie Cullum, Kyle Eastwood, Michael Stevens, with Cullum penning the lyrics.
After seeing the film, The New York Times noted the requiem tone captured by the film, describing it as "a sleek, muscle car of a movie made in the U.S.A., in that industrial graveyard called Detroit".[14] Manohla Dargis of the Times compared Eastwood's presence on film to Dirty Harry and The Man with No Name, stating, "Dirty Harry is back, in a way, in Gran Torino, not as a character but as a ghostly presence. He hovers in the film, in its themes and high-caliber imagery, and of course most obviously in Mr. Eastwood’s face. It is a monumental face now, so puckered and pleated that it no longer looks merely weathered, as it has for decades, but seems closer to petrified wood."[14] In the end she gave the film 4 stars out of 5. The Los Angeles Times also praised Eastwood's performance and credibility as an action hero at the age of 78. Kenneth Turan said of Eastwood's performance, "It is a film that is impossible to imagine without the actor in the title role. The notion of a 78-year-old action hero may sound like a contradiction in terms, but Eastwood brings it off, even if his toughness is as much verbal as physical. Even at 78, Eastwood can make 'Get off my lawn' sound as menacing as 'Make my day,' and when he says 'I blow a hole in your face and sleep like a baby,' he sounds as if he means it."[15] Rotten Tomatoes reported that 74% of critics gave the film positive write-ups, based upon a sample of 66, with an average score of 6.7/10.[16] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 73, based on 23 reviews.[17]

Saw it a few days ago and it was a good movie but not sure if I liked the ending. I would have preferred an old school ending. Don't want to spoil but you'll know when you see it.

AWESOME flick.....

My buddy gave me a screener copy and I watched it last weekend. Great movie. PERFECT role for Eastwood. He said it may be his last as an actor, I hope the academy gives him his first best actor award. He deserves it for this imo.
