Outstanding would be an understatement

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2005)

This movie had just about everything a viewer could possibly want. There are very few movies I see that I think deserve the awards they receive, but million dollar baby more than earned the four ( I believe it was four) academy awards it received. I think just about everyone is expecting a "Rocky" style plot with a female for the twist, and at first it seems as if it might be just that, but in a good way. You quickly realize, however, that this movie takes it's place among the truly greats, with more than just a twist of originality. This movie is not a modern "Rocky". Clint Eastwood is a genius in his own. As for Ms. Swank, the only other work of hers I am familiar with is the fourth Karate Kid, but after her performance in million dollar baby I think we will all be seeing a lot more of her.
