Gran Torino Without The Grit
PostedDecember 5, 2009
borderline
from Dallas, TX
The plot revolves around De Niro's character, a retired blue-collar worker dealing with the loss of his wife and his four grown children that have gone off to disparate locations and lives. Since his children fail to show up for a planned weekend at his place, he heads off to "surprise" them by train and bus.
There aren't any guffaws, although occasional smiles laced with poignant moments along the way as De Niro discovers the truth about his family and himself..
The only memorable music was the McCartney song over the closing credits. which was worth sitting through as we were treated to the many "photos" De Niro's character takes throughout the movie with his old-fashioned non-digital camera.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
