Walt, the crusty septuagenarian star of "Gran Torino," is a retired auto worker rather than a cop. But the movie feels like star/director Clint Eastwood's attempt to put his Dirty Harry character out to pasture, permanently. Walt is pushing 80, recently a widower, doesn't care for the company of his sons or grandchildren, and is pretty much content to sit on his stoop drinking beer and muttering racial epithets at the Hmong immigrant families who have taken over his blue-collar enclave. Call him Dirty Harry on a Pension.
