Movie Review: Million Dollar Baby

I'm the first to admit that I have never been a big fan of Clint Eastwood as a director. Sure, Unforgiven was great but what about Bridges of Madison County? However, my opinion has drastically changed after seeing his latest venture. Team Eastwood with Morgan Freeman and throw in a little Hillary Swank and all of a sudden you've got a winner. Swank plays a character that sort of resembles her Karate Kid IV role crossed with her Boys Don't Cry character however, the raw emotion that she brings to this movie is unmistakable. Furthermore, Freeman's role is (as expected) understated yet overwhelming. This movie is a definite must see.
