Magnificent, Eastwood's greatest achievement

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2005)

With modest expectations I went into the theater to see this film. I came out with a new idea of what makes a great film a masterpiece. The acting is brilliant all around, the story is extremely captivating, and the emotions reach all time highs. This movie is wonderfully told and beautifully designed. This film should go down as one of the greats in the annals of movie lore. It is emotionally moving and stunning. The triumphs and sufferings of each individual character are heartfelt and understood on a deeply personal level. If there are only a few films that you could see, I would most assuredly recommend putting 'Million Dollar Baby' at the top of the list.
