Distinct low flyer

Having loved Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby, this portrayal in my mind was as wooden as the stool that was her million dollar downfall in the Clint Eastwood knockout. Perhaps it was the accent, perhaps it was the characterisation, perhaps if I'd met Amelia Earhart, I would find that she also was a bit standoffish, but unfortunately I haven't, so as inspiring as Earhart's achievements were, Swank's effort in this were distinctly not.
