'I got nobody but you Frankie' ~ Maggie

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2015)

This is, in my opinion, Eastwood's best movie and his best performance in a movie. It starts out as a boxing underdog movie and turns into something totally different. Looking at the cast, you can be sure that acting would be good but what Swank, Eastwood and Freeman do with their roles is amazing. The script was so good that the dialogues never felt like dialogues but rather like natural conversation. The friendship between Eastwood and Freeman's characters is so warm and beautiful. But, its the relationship of Eastwood with Swank's character that stays with you. It grows on you, like it grew on them and then you get a sucker punch at the end. It was so sad but strangely beautiful. One of my all time favorites.
