A Knockout

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2015)

A film directed and starring Clint Eastwood who also provided the music shows why he is one of the best in the business. The things that stand out in this is the performance. It's one of those films where everyone does an excellent job at performing their roles from Clint Eastwood to Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank and a star making role for How to Train Your Dragon's Jay Barushel. The lesson and story is also very well thought out given you a surprising ending to this seemingly Rocky-type movie that I was applauding but also sad when Eastwood didn't go generic. However the film does have it's flaws but none that really stand out that I can think off the top of my head. Even when I think about it I stubble to find many huge flaws. But I'm sure there are some flaws somewhere, not big ones but flaws nonetheless because there is no such thing as the perfect movie but this is pretty close to it. Now to grade this. Acting: A+ Story: A Characters: A- Music: C+ Overall: B+
