Movie 2011.11.04 - Gran Torino

Great acting from Clint Eastwood as a grumpy old war veteran. Wife has recently passed away, so it's just him living in a predominantly Hmong suburb overrun by youth gangs.

He started getting close with his neighbor's kids and fought off the gang members when he can. Obviously, the gang didn't like his meddling, and took some tough measures against the kids. Feeling guilty for the gang's retaliation, he went to the gang's lair for a showdown. Before he had a chance to take out the cigarette lighter from his breast pocket, the gang members opened fire, witnessed by all the neighbors. The bad boys are hauled off to jail, and there is peace in the community again. Such a sad movie.
