Great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2012)

I basically agree with Ebert's and Berardinelli's reviews here. This was a very well made film about life, populated with real, flesh and blood characters. Apart from a regular, well developed 'boxing plot', the movie also poses a very difficult question about euthanasia, especially considering that this is a major US release. Eastwood answers it bravely and in a manner that will not be seen everywhere as being politically correct.
Oscar level performances by all three main characters, but especially Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman (so the Academy and I finally agree, for once). The camera was also very good. One of the all time great movies! Well done Clint!
