This movie elicits every emotion imaginable

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2005)

This movie is definitely not a sugar coated portrayal of the sport, this script does not hold back! The characters are very well developed and Hillary Swank delivers an amazing performance. The movie goes much deeper than just the sport itself. It's a story in which each character posses their own inadequacies which they must learn to overcome. The boxing aspect simply symbolizes each individuals struggle to fight their way to the top and learning to "roll with the punches". Hillary Swank's character becomes the inspiration that seems to have been lost somewhere along the way. An excellent example of how what we put into the "fight" is more important than the outcome.
