Amazon.co.uk Review:
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
Rating:
- Packs a Punch
I didn't remember any of the hype around this film, and from watching the first 15 minutes I thought it was a female version of Rocky. Being in the dark meant I appreciated the full impact of this subtle and difficult film. Eastwood is a joy to watch on film, and his motivations and thoughts keep you riveted.
Like his role in Unforgiven, he plays and ambiguous and complex character. Hilary Swank is a bit corny from time to time, but a few moments on the film grab you in the gut, and ... Read More
Rating: - An amazing metaphor of US society
This film is beautifully strong but immensely cruel. The strength of the film holds in one single fact: anyone can always win one battle provided they are trained properly and they are managed properly. That does not mean they will win the world title but they can always try and win one victory. How far will they go, no one knows, no one can tell. Luckily, otherwise there would be no meaning in trying. But the cruelty is all contained too in one fact: the end of such a fight for the top title is lost ... Read More
Rating: - magnificent
best film of eastwood's career and featuring a great performance from swank in the lead role.great film worth buying
Rating:
- heavy personalities in heavy drama
Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry) stars as Frankie, an emotional boxing trainer who takes a determined Maggie under his wing and trains her to compete at competitive levels.
Being a fan of Scorsese's Raging Bull and Michael Mann's Ali, I was eager to see this Oscar winning drama and was able to sit and be engaged into a slow and touching plot about the human spirit.
Eastwood leads the way as Frankie, a man with a whole lot of personal history that keeps him from making quick decisions, ... Read More
Rating: - Not your conventional boxing film
As the title suggests,this isnt a normanl boxing film in any sense.it has a very powerful emotional story behined it beautifully put together,Clint Eastwood plays boxing trainer Frank Dunn who finds not only a great fighter but also the daughter he never had.The main reason i gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it ends on a slightly depressing note.But other than that it's very good film
