In the wake of a painful estrangement from his daughter, boxing trainer Frankie Dunn has been unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long time--then Maggie Fitzgerald walks into his gym. In a life of constant struggle, Maggie's gotten herself this far on raw talent, unshakable focus and a tremendous force of will. But more than anything, she wants someone to believe in her. The last thing Frankie needs is that kind of responsibility-- let alone that kind of risk--but won over by Maggie's sheer determination, he begrudgingly agrees to take her on. In turns exasperating and inspiring each other, the two come to discover that they share a common spirit that transcends the pain and loss of their pasts, and they find in each other a sense of family they lost long ago. Yet, they both face a battle that will demand more heart and courage than any they've ever known.

Brilliant film. Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman are quality in it and then that ugly bird is alright. Anyway it has a great story and you will want to watch it again and again. It's quite an emotional film too seeing as it's based around boxing.

Don't be put off by the boxing as it isn't just a boxing film as it's more about the lifes of Eastwood, Swank and Freeman and the difficulties they have to face.

10/10
 
Gregor if you were to watch you would soon realise it isn't.
 
We had it on "dvd" but i never got the chance to watch it, the pa said it was really good. But if sean gives it 10/10. Its probably ****.
 
Didn't this film win a few awards last year or something? I haven't seen it yet but i've been meaning to for a while.
 
Yeh it won:

- Actor In Supporting Role: Morgan Freeman
- Actress In A Leading Role: Hillary Swank
- Best Picture
- Best Directing: Eastwood

So it didn't do too badly :cool:
