Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this film about an aging boxing trainer named Frank (Eastwood), who reluctantly agrees to take on determined female boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank). Both fighter and mentor have been swayed by damaging bouts with life. Together, they build a mutual foundation of strength and belief.
What can be said about Clint Eastwood that hasn't been said before?
That he's American film's last and best classicist, a 74-year-old director who's aged better than a Sideways Pinot Noir? That his increasingly fearless and idiosyncratic choice of material has made him more of an independent filmmaker than half the people at Sundance? That he continues to find ways to surprise audiences yet remain inescapably himself? It's all true, and never more so than in Eastwood's latest, Million Dollar Baby.
Perhaps the director's most touching, most elegiac work yet, Million Dollar Baby is a film that does both the expected and the unexpected, that has the ne...
Hilary Swank (as Maggie) delivers a blistering performance; full of grit, raw emotion, power and just the right amount of pathos.
But, it’s Clint Eastwood as Frankie Dunn who steals the movie for me. He delivers a tour de force of such sensitivity and compassion that it’s very very easy to forget that he was the man with no name and Harry Callahan.
Behind Frankie’s bluster, lies a beautiful heart. He shows it in private when he sees yet another returned letter from his estranged daughter, the yearning almost palpable in his face. He resists Maggie’s desire to be a boxer for a l...
By now, Clint Eastwood has nothing to prove to moviegoers. Like his spaghetti Western heroes did to the last pistolero of the day, he has gunned down every preconception about him.
Yet, here he is, still reinventing himself with Million Dollar Baby, a grim knockout of a boxing movie with multiple jolts.
Eastwood directs and stars in one of his top performances, not as the boxer, obviously, but as a gym operator.
With still-imposing biceps and a gruff voice, he has the authority to make us follow his lead, yet the character is not without flaws. Weekly letters to an estranged daughter get returned. And he's so confrontational to a much younger pri...
Weighing in with a heavyweight work that tops anything he has done since 1992's Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood's boxing saga Million Dollar Baby is a relentlessly unsentimental melodrama that delivers its body-blows when you least expect them. After the somewhat hysterical Mystic River - a flawed work dominated by a powerhouse performance from Sean Penn - this is a far more balanced piece, anchored by three terrific turns and some lean direction from Eastwood.
To give away the secrets of the plot would be criminal. Suffice it to say it's a story about redemption that embraces religion, family and social affairs. Eastwood plays grizzled boxing trainer Frankie Dunn, o...
