MILLION DOLLAR BABY




Sports drama

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Clint Eastwood: Frank Dunn, aging boxing coach/trainer and owner of a rundown gym
Morgan Freeman: his pal Scrap, one of Frank’s former boxers
Hilary Swank: Margaret Fitzgerald (aka Maggie), waitress and wannabeboxer

REVIEW
This is a carefully crafted movie that is in no hurry to get to the end. The slow pace allows for great character development and provides an opportunity to see something of the training that’s required prior to a boxing match. Excellent performances abound.

CLASSIFICATION
for violence, some disturbing images, thematic material and language.
