Cast: Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, Jay Baruchel, Mike Colter, Lucia Rijker
 

 

Fresh off the multiple Academy Award nominee Mystic River, Clint Eastwood has gone on to tackle the ups and downs of the boxing world in Million Dollar Baby. Despite the cheery title, this is not the usual Rocky-esque rags-to-riches story of the determined underdog who inevitably becomes a super-topdog once she (in this case it’s a “she”) puts on her gloves, jumps into the boxing ring, and starts using other women as punching bags.
