Surprisingly Great.

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2007)

I did not know what to expect when I first pressed play. Maybe I thought it was kind of overrated by the reviewers. But quite fast I sensed something special about it. It is not a boxing movie or a girl-power-Hollywood-waste-of-time kind of movie. It is really a beautiful movie about simple, yet strong things such as: Bravery, determination, hope, trust, compassion and the greatness of giving it one last chance. the last 30 min or so, are very strong and surprising and leaves you with a feeling inside that tells you that this is not just an average movie. To those of you who have not watched it, go ahead and enjoy a special powerful movie, with a good performance by the young Swank, a powerful and worthy performance by the great Clint Eastwood, both as director and actor. And of course a sparkling great performance by our very own Morgan Freeman.
