Wonderfully told

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2005)

This is a truly wonderful movie. I watched it with my husband and was glued to the TV until it completed. Morgan Freeman works...his voice, his story-telling abilities, it was amazing. As a matter of fact EVERY character in this film brought it to life for me. I almost cried several times and had to fight back lumps of tears (my husband would tease me mercilessly if I had). Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood are amazing together. They made it feel like a story about a father getting a second chance with his daughter...I loved it. I was actually doing all the fighting moves myself as I watched "Maggie" fight. Amazing! I didn't give it 10 due to the irreverent comparison of the Trinity to cereal box characters and the cussing priest (not funny even though I got what they were trying to prove).
