Didn't move me at all

Rating: 3/10 (3 April 2005)

Ms Swank shows us that her upbringing served her well. She didn't need to act, just bring back the little trailer girl that brought her to adulthood. She was wooden and boring, although almost believable as a woman who wanted to box (go figure!), and wouldn't listen to her "coach". I just never felt the least little bit about her. It was actually a relief to have the movie end as it did so I wouldn't hear her "boss man" thing even one more time. Clint Eastwood did not do himself proud on this one, although Morgan Freeman was excellent. I am shocked and amazed that this little movie got nominated for anything, let along won. Guess this is proof that one can just pay off the academy for awards. Wasted my evening. Good thing I didn't have any other plans that night.
