Million Dollar Baby

Superb!
A really great movie... an example of what great subtle acting can do. No overtly theatrical performances. Very, very natural. Clint Eastwood ahs become a really, really good filmmaker of this genre. And Hillary Swank was great! Morgan Freeman gave a very controlled performance - very nice. All in all - a great movie.
A narrative of a deadbeat, overage boxer (Swank) who has the heart to go all the way - and solicits Eastwood's training. He helps her get her 'shot' and in the process we discover the passion, the stories and the unfulfilled dreams behind their compelling journey.
Highly recommended.

Rating: 5/5

PS: I've been really lucky of late... I've watched a string of really good movies. Either that, or I've become very good at picking the movies I want to watch! :)
