It Will Have A Round With 'Rocky' Anyday!
By CatabolismEnd (197 reviews) from Croydon , 02 Aug 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Before I start you must rent this immediately! This film is brilliant. If you haven’t seen it yet I strongly suggest you do! Its another film directed by Mr Eastwood and its possibly he best yet. Mr Eastwood likes to keep things simple in this movie and it shows in the end result. The movie is about a 30-year-old woman trying to do anything to pursue her dream of becoming a boxer and wining the world championship. Although the movie does follow the 'American dream' it has a bitter and harsh twist, which propels the movie into utter sadness. It is a stunning story with characters you will likely to remember, it has a great sense of humour and kind-heartedness. Eastwood has raised the bar in movie making yet again and this is an enjoyable and engrossing movie to watch. It has thrills, spills, emotional lows + highs and comedy. The film does dive deep into complete disaster and tragedy, which is a nice and different twist to what we are used to in boxing films. Clint, Hilary and Morgan all deserve awards for their roles and characters in the movie. Put it this way you cant miss this film, and if you do you’ll regret it, its pleasant to watch and totally absorbing!

Trio of great performances led by Eastwood...
By DJLS (8 reviews) from Brighton , 30 May 2012This is a classic sports drama with Clint Eastwood's deft directorial skills evident throughout. Clint plays an aged gym owner and professional boxing trainer. His life is stale and full of regret, until Swank's humble and determined young boxer charms him with her energy and devotion.
The film has some excellent training sequences and fight scenes, and Morgan Freeman almost steals the show with his performance as a has-been boxer and Clint's only friend. However, it is Swank who owns the movie in an Oscar-winning role.
Some of the plot scenes lack direction, and a few characters provide little in the way of adding to the storyline, but on the whole this is another Clint Eastwood's classic. Sensitive, good-humoured, beautifully shot and with great performances.- Was this review helpful to you?

Powerful Performance from Swank
By Wingmanwalker (6 reviews) from Birmingham , 11 May 2012Powerful Performance from Swank with her boyish looks perfectly cast as a female boxer. Who trains full on in tense battle for the ring which sees her own family in a true light of contempt for her and what she believes in. The film can only be described as a full on gripping drama.- Was this review helpful to you?

For boxing amateurs
By Cineforme (6 reviews) , 15 Apr 2012While Clint Eastwood does a very good job as an actor as well as a director and Morgan Freeman's performance also stads out, it was difficult for me to maintain interest, as everything revolves around the boxing industry, which is not my cup of tea, but I suppose would be enjoyed by people who like this kind of sport.- Was this review helpful to you?
