Its a film that reaks of quality. It looks suitably gritty given its film-maker and theme, and there is a real pumping heart at the centre. Hilary Swank is Maggie Fitzgerald. A dreamer with ambition to burn. She meets Clint Eastwoods grizzled boxing trainer and form a struggled friendship that lasts. Morgan Freeman stands ringside throughout offering his cherished tones to the voiceover and some nice scenes with the two main characters. Truly one of the best films to come out of the 00's.
