    What was your thought on the ending? Did you like his action, or did you want him to do what was expected?

    I personally wanted him to doing what was expected, but I think what he did was more powerful and left a lasting life lesson on the boy.

    I think what he did was better since i it taught the boy a lesson he will never forget.

    Lots of vulgarity and I think that's it. Maybe violence too.

    I thought it was a great movie, good acting excepting maybe Thao when he was locked. Otherwise it was awesome.

    MPAA:
    Rated R for language throughout, and some violence. (From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205489/)

    Yeah. I didn't know whether to laugh or not at that part.

    Clint Eastwood looked like a badass
    ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS were SHITTY ACTORS

    Clint Eastwood is worth anything in this movie.

    The movie Grand Torino was simply, amazing. The story behind it was so powerful and actually made me think about reality. The humor in it was quite funny as well. Overall, this movie really shows what it's like in not-so-wealthy towns and I loved it. I'd rate this movie a 10/10 and can't wait to buy it on DVD. I recommend everyone should see this film.

    Haha. Yeah, it did have an odd sense of humor to it. I loved it when they went into the Barber Shop.

    Haha!

    For all you wanting to go pay to see it; don't.

    It's like something Youtube users would make. It makes no sense, there's shitty actors and an old guy beating up fat gangsters.

    Wow, that's the first hate response for this movie. How don't you like Clint Eastwood? I think the use of "human" (realistic) actors was better than using 300 buff guys from 300 (poor example, but you get the point).
