Clint Eastwood is another director who I think is vastly over-rated. He's not bad, just not worthy of the many accolades he receives. He's all to obvious and his characters are very one-dimensional. He also uses no subtlety whatsoever, and will pound his message in with a hammer.
Gran Torino is a typical film for him. It's pretty good, but by no means great. The biggest problem I have with it is the stereotypical roles everyone plays. I liked the ending, but it was obvious, just like Eastwood. A 5 rating.
