Superb Film and Raw Acting

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2007)

One of the best films I have seen. It is not just a story depicting boxing as a sport but the story behind people's anguish in life behind the sport.
I have always watched the movies of Hilary Swank and unsurprisingly, she always gives an excellent raw acting that no Hollywood actress can emulate. She really deserved to be the runaway winner of different award giving bodies.
For Clint Eastwood, he is really good in directing movies with a surprise ending. He is really a good director and approach his films as raw(real) as possible. As far as I can recall, when he directs films, the actors that are involved has been given citations for their acting. Morgan Freeman has been consistently excellent in his movies and particularly to this film.
Very touching movie and a bit intellectual. I think most of the insensitive people would get bored to this movie.
