A spare, exquisitely realised masterpiece about faith, redemption and boxing.
Full reviewBest Film winner at the 2005 Academy Awards, Clint Eastwood directs and stars as a trainer with an elusive past who works with a determined woman (Hilary Swank) in an attempt to establish herself as a professional boxer. An underdog, she manages to battle her way to a title fight. A freak tragedy during that fight dramatically alters both their lives.
