Clint Eastwood has been quoted saying that this is not a boxing movie. I'm sorry to say, this is a boxing movie. A girl Rocky movie so to speak. The movie revolves around the relationship between a trainer and a boxer, sound familiar? Hilary Swank does a great job as does Morgan Freeman and surprisingly so, Clint. The breakthrough has to be Jay(local NDG boy) who got to shine while working in awe of his co-workers. Clint has proved himself once again as a force to be reckoned with. Director, composer and actor. A lifelong career for someone who was typecast as a gunslinger and magnum 44 user. He has an ability as a director to get stuff done quickly in order to catch his actors at their best and not on the 51st take. He also uses elements that are familiar to him and his actors such as casting his own daughter as an extra along with Hilary Swank's dog. This movie is powerful and worthy of all the attention it has been getting..
