March 28, 2018 Gran Torino 2008
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205489/
Disgruntled Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski sets out to reform his neighbor, a Hmong teenager who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: a 1972 Gran Torino.
Still as good as I remember from several years ago. Addressing the cycles of gang violence and poverty is an issue I think is important so naturally I enjoy films that tackle this theme. Performances are compelling and the greater focus on culture and relationships rather than violence and death is great.
4/5
