brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2005)

I loved this movie precisely because it was nothing to do with boxing. Clint Eastwood focused more on the raw emotion of all the actors than rough boxing matches. The ending of this film really tugs on your heartstrings. The lighting of the movie is another indication that Clint Eastwood is as good at directing as he is at acting. Every character is almost hidden in shadows, giving the impression that all is not as it seems. Morgan Freeman gives an amazing performance and his narration really helps.
This film has everything, comedy, sport, comedy, and a little love. If you haven't already, go and see this movie, I t is brilliant.
