M$B is a Must See Movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2005)

After seeing M$B I can say this is more than just a boxing movie. Hilary Swank, who won a Best Actress Oscar five years ago in "Boys Don't Cry" plays a woman named Maggie who at age 30 wants to be more than just a waitress and takes up boxing. Thats where she meets Frank played by Clint Eastwood who owns a boxing gym. She also meets Frank's longtime friend/partner "Scrap" played by respected actor Morgan Freeman who works at the gym. In one of the more touching moments in the film, Maggie offers to walk Scrap home at closing time, Scrap stops and turns his head to tell Maggie he is home as he lives at the gym in a room not much bigger than a closet. Watch Hilary Swank's marvelous performance as she is odds on favorite to capture her second Oscar for Best Actress! I recommend this movie.
