Despondent over a painful estrangement from his daughter, trainer Frankie Dunn isn't prepared for boxer Maggie Fitzgerald to enter his life. But Maggie's determined to go pro and to convince Dunn and his cohort to help her.
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.
