Gran Torino is useful for English practice if you can already follow natural conversations. The storyline is easy to follow, so missing a few words should not stop learners from understanding what is happening. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. At an average of around 92 words per minute, the dialogue is generally manageable, though some exchanges require more attention. If your English is close to B1/B2, Gran Torino can be useful for getting used to faster spoken English.
