a good drama

Rating: 6/10 (20 March 2014)

It seems that a US movie qualifies as "a serious drama" if it has a difficult topic, follows unhappy characters and lacks a happy ending. Million Dollar Baby wasn't that simple and straightforward, although this might be used as general guidelines when talking about it.
Clint Eastwood plays a boxing trainer long past his prime and Morgan Freeman plays his old buddy. there is more that bonds them than meets the eye, but you'll discover some interesting detail during the movie. Hilary Swank offers a solid performance of a lady coming from the bottom of the society who discovers some talents she didn't even dream about.
What bothered me, however, was that the writers decided to fill the script with seemingly endless sequence of misfortunes.
