It was a good movie. Not great. Not outstanding. Not fabulous. But just a good movie. My wife and I agree on this and we've been trying to figure out why all the hype and all the reviews that rave about it.
The best we can come up with is that there are so many bad movies released that when a good one comes out, it gets elevated to greatness status.
I also do not recommend seeing this immediately after seeing "Hotel Rwanda". (By this I mean within 30 minutes). You want an absorbing movie, then "Hotel Rwanda" is it. After that, pretty much anything will pale in comparison.
If you want a great movie directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, watch "Unforgiven". If you want a great Hillary Swank movie, watch "Boys Don't Cry".
If you want good, formulamatic soap with what I thought were pretty silly looking fight scenes, watch "Million Dollar Baby". And where did that title come from? I thought it was a Busby Berkley musical title. I kept waiting for the dance scenes.
