the power...

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

Eastwood has done it again...What Unforgiven was for the 90's, 'Million dollar baby' marks the year 2004-2005. The acting is fantastic, with a very realistic and exciting Morgan Freeman on top. He shows so much feeling in his character, you almost think he isn't acting one bit. It would be a great mistake to call this the female 'Rocky' movie. Rocky is a whole different movie. In this movie, the fighting doesn't conquer the whole film. Eastwood had some minor films in the last years (Space cowboys!), like True crime and the mediocre thriller 'Blood work', but he clearly shows to never underestimate an old fox. Very smart of him, to play the roles that are meant for the 'oldtimers'. Next year he is directing 'Flags of our fathers'..Curious what he'll do with that one...
