Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Finished it, it improved quite a bit.

Morgan Freeman got away with "grand theft picture", of course. He almost always does. Great perforamnce by Freeman. One note performacne by Eastwood, he is a lousy director. Yeah, I know, awards, I know. BS, he is worse at directing than acting. Look at the lousy performances he allowed in the picture. The uncoordinated kid boxer is a joke, should have been cut from the picture. The mother of Swank is over the top, and the brother is doing a Clint imitation talking through gritted teeth. Most Eastwood movies have LOUSY acting jobs in them. This is no exception, and sometimes the staging is amateurish, such as the hospital scenes between the family and Eastwood. Swank was very good in the hospital scenes.
Also Swanks physical transformation was very impressive; but is it acting?
Good movie; definitely not worthy of any Acadmy Award. Cetainly Farenheit 911 was a far better picture, and far more important. Which will be remembered three years from now by people who saw both?
