Million Dollar Baby
Clint Eastwood has produced a real heavyweight champion in "Million Dollar Baby". It is a powerful and emotional film about 3 people at a run down gym called the Hit Pit. Eastwood plays Frankie, the wise old trainer, Morgan Freeman is "Scrap Iron", the washed up fighter, and Hilary Swank stars as Maggie, the trailer trash girl who wants to be a fighter. All three give Oscar worthy performances. This is not so much a boxing movie as it is more about the people involved in boxing. But fight fans won't be disappointed either. Frankie's most important boxing lesson is to always protect yourself, but Alien let down his guard and was blindsided by a knockdown punch. Eastwood has created another stunning masterpiece.
Alien gives it 4 "knockout" stars out of 4.
