Director : Clint Eastwood
Running Time : 133 mins
Boxing trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood) is reaching the end of an incredibly successful career, so when Maggie Fitzgerald (Swank) - a thirty-something waitress who has decided on the spur of the moment to take up boxing – he refuses to train her, but his estranged relationship with his daughter leads him to take more of an interest in Maggie’s professional standing and takes the reigns as her trainer. It isn’t long before Maggie starts winning every fight she competes in...
Fans of fight movies will enjoy this twist on the traditional tale – not only do we have a female fighter, but she is hardly an underdog as the tale unfolds. The fight scenes are convincingly done, and some of Eastwood’s instructions to Swank on how to fight did make me chuckle. Worth watching, and the last half an hour or so is incredibly sad and moving.
