"Million Dollar Baby" definitely on my Top Ten List.

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2006)

"Million Dollar Baby," is an epic film directed by Clint Eastwood that has definitely sealed a spot in my "Top Ten." I, personally, am a Hillary Swank fan and she lives up to and excels her leading role as Maggie Fitzgerald, a woman coming from nothing to attempt to succeed in a mans sport that she loves. Maggie is working to live and then spends the rest of her time working out in the gym to become the best. This film is full of many different genres and feelings; drama, hope, despair, persistence, and even David vs. Goliath. Maggie isn't the youngest, the quickest, or the strongest, but what she lacks in skill, she compromises with her heart. So much heart, that the once stubborn Frankie Dunn, Clint Eastwood, agrees to become her trainer, even though she's a girl. Throughout the training and success of Maggie's career, they spark up a friendship as strong or even stronger than family. This is a great film and a must-see, it's amazing and has you rooting and leaving the theater with a want to better yourself and follow your dreams, despite the possibility of failure.
