Directed by Clint Eastwood, Gran Torino tells the story of a Korean War vet's reluctant friendship with a Hmong teenage boy and his immigrant family. More than simply a racial morality tale, however, the film is about the unlikely bonds that people form to navigate the harsh complexities every day life. Eastwood's portrayal of the grizzled Walt Kowalski alone is enough to make your day.
