A "million dollar" waste of your time.

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2009)

Clint Eastwood starred in, co-produced, directed, and wrote the music for Million Dollar Baby. And the result is typical for actors who direct their movies as well. This is, to put it nicely, a terrible movie. Until the ending, the movie's message seems to be "you can accomplish anything if you try hard". And then comes the ending, which destroys any possibilities of a moral from this movie. Eastwood does nothing new, playing his standard, anti-hero, "tough guy" role. Morgan Freeman appears in this embarrassing movie, but miraculously, manages not to embarrass himself. This is a film overridden with clichés, absolutely boring and lifeless. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture that year. Must've been a bad year.
