Exelence

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2016)

A masterpiece that will spoil not only sport, in particular boxing fans, but movie enthusiasts as well. The softly told story about hard, crushing punches that life throws inside the ring and outside of it. Breathtaking performance from all the main characters, especially Hilary Swank. She shines in all her beauty and her undoubtful talent takes you by the hand as she slides between the ropes. The supporting characters are carefully chiseled and take the movie to another level. Clint Eastwood, already proved to be one of the best directors ever to take the roll, sets that bar yet a bit higher. And the music is so delicate and intelligent, that it fuses with the movie perfectly. It will make you cry. It will make you laugh. It will make you sad. And it will make you happy.
