Performance and few comments about the movie.
_______________________________________
Su perb performances from the vetern actors Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman and lead female Hillary Swank. She is amazing and looks good as the boxer. The other two are superb as father figure roles.
Overall the film is a classic. Good acting and superb screenplay.
The plot warms up slowly and some of the scenes are slow and long. All of this is done to develop the characters and build up for the ending which are the best scenes in the film.

oxonian - 24/02/08 I'd be concerned that people are giving you VU's, they obviously aren't reading - a movie review normally requires a lot more content, especially on character performances which yours does not touch upon. For a film this brilliant, I would expect much more written about the dramatic quality of this film. |
