Swank's Most Powerful Performance To Date

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2005)

Swank has won critical acclaim for her role in Boys Don't Cry, for which she received a Golden Globe for Best Actress In A Motion Picture-Drama as well as the ever coveted Academy Award for Best Actress In A Lead Role, of which she beat out the amazing Annette Bening who was favored to take home the Oscar. Swank's powerhouse performance in Million Dollar Baby left me in awe. She is truly one of the most gifted actresses around and seems to deliver an artful kick in the ass if given the right script. She blew me away as Maggie Fitzgerald and truly deserved her 2nd Oscar! The scene where she is practicing in The Hit Pit on the night of her 32nd birthday was one of my favorites. Clint Eastwood gave probably the performance of his career and the ever graceful Mogan Freeman deserved his long overdue Oscar for his amazing performance and "Scrap Iron" Dupris...
