Million Dollar Baby (DVD) ... released 27 June, 2005 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL / Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, Million Dollar Baby stands proudly with Unforgiven and Mystic River as the masterwork of a great American filmmaker. In an age of bloated spectacle and computer-generated effects extravaganzas, Eastwood turns an elegant screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from the book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner by F.X. Toole, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking, as deeply felt in its heart-wrenching emotions as it is streamlined in its character-driven storytelling. In the course of developing powerful bonds between "white-trash" Missouri waitress and aspiring boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), her grizzled, reluctant trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), and Frankie's best friend and training-gym partner Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman), 74-year-old Eastwood mines gold from each and every character, resulting in stellar work from his well-chosen cast. Containing deep reserves of love, loss, and the universal desire for something better in hard-scrabble lives, Million Dollar Baby emerged, quietly and gracefully, as one of the most acclaimed films of 2004, released just in time to earn an abundance of year-end accolades, all of them well-deserved. --Jeff Shannon

I don't usually like watching films with Clint Eastwood. I don't know what it is about him but I've never enjoyed watching him. Until now the only exception to this was a film called 'A Perfect World' which also starred Kevin Costner. I had heard good things about this film and so despite having Eastwood in a starring role I wanted to see it. In Million Dollar Baby, Eastwood plays Frankie Dunn, an ex boxer who is now a trainer looking for a boxer to win him a title. He owns a gym which he runs with the help of Morgan Freeman who plays Eddie Dupris. Eddie lost an eye in a boxing match for a title and Frankie holds himself reponsible for this. Hilary ...

Million Dollar Baby was released in 2005 and is a fantastic movie all round, directed by Clint Eastwood who also stars in the film. I have to admit I don't mind watching a bit of boxing but know that not everyone is into the sport but I don't really think that matters too much as it's brilliant. The movie is the story of a female boxer by the name of Maggie Fitzgerald played by Hilary Swank, her trainer Frankie Dunn played by Clint Eastwood, and his business partner Eddie Durpis played by Morgan Freeman. The movie itself is really a character study of the first two characters, namely Maggie and Frankie. For me, one of the reasons I think that this ... Read the complete review

Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood star together in 'Million Dollar Baby', a drama that focuses on an unlikely partnership that later develops into a deep friendship between a female boxer and her trainer (Eastwood). The cover art may fool a lot of people into thinking it's a boxing movie but there is only a handful of boxing scenes in the whole film and, really, the boxing is used as an excuse to show how Clint's character, Frankie, is, at first, unwilling to let himself become emotionally attached to people and his protege, Maggie (Swank) unknowingly, eventually gets to change all that. Morgan Freeman makes appearances in the film but takes a back ... Read the complete review

This film has won 2 Golden Globes for Clint Eastwood as best director and Hilary Swank as best actress. It has also won 4 academy awards for best picture best director best actress and best supporting actor, it is not suprising why this is a very moving and heartfelt film. I had always seen Clint Eastwood as a western actor until I picked up this film. He was not playing a cowboy it was a modern film and at this point I found out he directed the film too. I have found him a very interesting actor that can make a film with real feeling which draws you in and makes you feel close to the charactors. He has also got big actors such as Morgan Freeman in the ... Read the complete review
