Gran Turino - new Eastwood film
hey folks, just saw a trailer with Eastwood's new film called Gran Turino.
I seem M1s and 1911 being deployed against a gang terrorizing a neighboorhood. having just read, Hunter's Night of Thunder, I am pretty into the theme of a hardened, carmudgeony veteran dispensing some justice with the classic tools that used in the last great war.
anybody else seen the trailer?

Is this (Gran Torino) supposed to be his last "Dirty Harry " movie? Can you post a link to the trail, if it was on-line?
Thanks...

The previews looked really good. Doesn't appear to be a Dirty Harry sequel, just an elderly, tough as nails type, being harassed by gangbangers. No evidence of the mighty .44.

Judging by the trailer I think I'll have to rent it when it comes out.

I can see myself as that guy when, or if, I am that old....

Watch your language there partner...
