Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman
2004
Frankie, an ill-tempered old coach, reluctantly agrees to train aspiring boxer Maggie. Impressed with her determination and talent, he helps her become the best and the two soon form a close bond.
This one knocked me off my feet. It wasn't what I expected, going in, but it hit deep. The story of perseverance and struggle was something else. Hilary Swank was something fierce, showed a grit and determination that really struck a chord with me. It's one of them movies that stays with you, makes you think about the fight in your own life. Eastwood's direction was top-notch, kept you glued to the screen. A tough but rewarding watch.
