Overrated, overrated, overrated!

Rating: 5/10 (19 January 2006)

I am horrified that this movie was nominated and that people went crazy over it. I was so looking forward to it and was terribly disappointed. I adore Hilary Swank but it was so try-hard it was embarrassing. I cry at anything - but this was just ridiculous. The writer and director thought of 20 things to pull at an average persons heartstrings and put all of them in the film...the uncaring mother, the losing of her legs..and Clint is obviously so worried about ageing that they never bothered to film him without a shadow covering 3/4 of his face. I hated this film with a passion and was so disappointed with the public for loving it - it starts well but disintegrates quickly into a bad TV movie.
"They took my legs Boss....." Hilary sweetheart, I wish they had taken my eyes before I decided to watch this pile of rubbish
