Heart-Warming, Amazing and very Thought Provoking

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2005)

Not knowing anything about the film before watching it, I was amazed and taken aback by what seemed a "by the numbers" sporting drama was done.
Morgan Freeman's narration, and 2 of the most moving performances by Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank all add up to a moving masterpiece that should live on for many years, and left me wanting more, yet glad that it ended when it did.
Within the space of 2 hours you see each character transform and "grow" as actions, decisions and consequences affect the life they lead. Comparable to Shawshank Redemption in terms of the mood of the film, the cinematography and the uplifting feeling, only good can come from watching this film and I urge you all to see it.
10/10
