Gran Torino

It was so so.

I liked most of it, but I do think it was HIGHLY overrated.

I also felt the ending was weak. There is simply no way he could know that ALL of the bad guys would do what they did. He had no way to be sure the outcome would end like that with all the bad guys. Overly contrived shoehorned ending in my book.

I'm with u on the ending tiger myth. But I really enjoyed it and thought it lived up to the hype. It was funnier than I ever expected

He also had no way to know the entire gang would be home. There were simply way too many variables for him to try such an insane way to end the threat.

Definitely a good movie. One of my favorites of 2008.

All could be charged, also what are the chances the guns they have on them are legal? No drugs or anything else they can be charged with?

I'll grant you that, then again, maybe he waited outside until he saw they were all there.

I don't know about Michigan law, but i some states they could be charged as accomplishes or all charged with 2nd degree murder since I'm also going to guess, they are not going to say who did the actually shooting if it was only 1 guy. Its also not that much of a stretch to assume more than one would fire at him as he reached inside his jacket.

If the Asian gangsters had bigger roles it would have been bad because they were way overboard with bad acting.

worst acting in recent memory

If it was only one, the rest of the gang would have raped and murdered the Asian girl and killed the family in retribution.

You can make all the arguments you want, the ending was weak and shoehorned in to fit the ending Clint wanted.

All of them pulling weapons and shooting him was weak, bit it was done for a reason. It was the only way the script could work at the end. Otherwise Clint was throwing away his life just to have one guy put away.

And it is also very weak that they just sat around waiting to be arrested.

I will say it again. I enjoyed the film up until the weak contrived shoehorned nonsensical ending.

Clint didn't want a cliched, old gunslinger ending, but moving away from that he came up with a BS ending that would never have saved the Asian family from future retribution.
