Eastwood does a good job with drama, great story, great actors

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2005)

I thought Eastwood impressed once again. A solid drama, with an inspiring story, good direction, great acting and amazing score. The script about a female boxer (Swank) who trains with an experienced trainer (eastwood) as told by an old fighter(Freeman) who lost his eye in a fight who works for the trainer at his gym . I thought Morgan Freeman outshined in this film, his performance, although supporting, was better than both of the leads. I liked Hilary Swank she was solid, and although Eastwood had the same look throughout most the film his performance was decent as well. Jay Baruchel was hilarious, great character. I thought this film was good, it was slow but got its point across, a great drama. 9/10
