Sorry, it just didn't do it for me ...

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2006)

I must admit that I never finished it. I stopped after the scene with Maggie paralized and telling Frankie she wanted to die. It just didn't make sense. And I'm not going to give this flick another chance - no matter how highly it is praised.
Firstly, boxing is not my thing. Secondly, when the going gets rough, the girl gives up? That's stupid. Thirdly, the story is so uninspiring and predictable. Even I could have come up with it. And last but not least, I had developed absolutely no sympathy with any of the characters.
I would have given it a 3-4 out of 10, but for all the hype and the Oscar nominations it has received, I just can't give this movie any credit.
