This Ain't No Dike Boxer Flick--This Is Really Good

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2005)

I'm a little prejudiced because I enjoy watching Eastwood,Freeman, Swank,and Eastwood and Eastwood and Eastwood....but watching them all "enteract" together is an intense treat.Unlike other movies based on a boxer or athletic woman, Swank does'nt suddenly change into some tough jock-itching butchy bruiser.In other words shes "femtuff", only Matt Damon has a smile as honest as hers.She's so unassuming and easy to watch you forget she's acting. Freeman and Eastwood are effortless--just so enjoyable to watch you just can't get enough of them. The dialog is refreshing and solid scene to scene with no meaningless lengthy up-close nostril shots.The direction is not blatant but instead its seamless and hidden in full view.This is one of those rare movies that comes along that I want to buy not just rent.
