Good movie with several statements to make.

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2005)

Hilary Swank does a great job of acting. Clint Eastwood is Clint Eastwood as both actor and director. Morgan Freeman is Morgan Freeman as he was in "Shawshank Redemption" and "Driving Miss Daisy". It seems to give a pro vote for euthanasia, but we do treat our favorite pets much better than we do our human friends when it comes to relieving suffering. The physical, personal damage portrayed by the sport of boxing may be too much for some small children, most females and some males. If you liked the "Raging Bull" then that will probably not bother you. It is also a very true portrayal of many people that are on the welfare roles of this country. See the movie early in the day so as to help not keeping you awake at night thinking about it.
