Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, Million Dollar Baby stands proudly with Unforgiven and Mystic River as the masterwork of a great American filmmaker. In an age of bloated spectacle and computer-generated effects extravaganzas, Eastwood turns an elegant screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from the book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner by F.X. Toole, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking, as deeply felt in its heart-wrenching emotions as it is streamlined in its character-driven storytelling. In the course of developing powerful bonds between "white-trash" Missouri waitress and aspiring boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), her grizzled, reluctant trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), and Frankie's best friend and training-gym partner Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman), 74-year-old Eastwood mines gold from each and every character, resulting in stellar work from his well-chosen cast. Containing deep reserves of love, loss, and the universal desire for something better in hard-scrabble lives, Million Dollar Baby emerged, quietly and gracefully, as one of the most acclaimed films of 2004, released just in time to earn an abundance of year-end accolades, all of them well-deserved. --Jeff Shannon

Frankie Dunn has trained and managed some incredible fighters during a lifetime spent in the ring. The most important lesson he teaches his boxers is the one that rules life: above all, always protect yourself. In the wake of a painful estrangement from his daughter, Frankie has been unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long time. His only friend, Scrap, an ex-boxer who looks after Frankie's gym, knows that beneath his gruff exterior is a man who has been seeking, for the past ... Read More

As 2009 comes to a close I feel that I should share the few gems that I feel blessed enough to have seen during the last decade, and what better review to do that on than the one that gets my vote for #1 movie of the decade?

Geeze this was a good movie, but I wish they would have let us know what happened to the evil German prostitute/boxer. Kind of left me feeling empty on that one big point.

The first thing I do when I read user reviews for a film is go to the opposite of my opinion. So in the case of Million Dollar Baby, I directly went to the area where people rated this film only 1 star and read their reviews. Interesting to say the least. I feel some people just miss the boat on this film and what type of story its trying to tell. It's a story of stubbornness and the will to do whatever it takes to be the best, and how all of that can be taken from you in a single moment. To cherish ... Read More

Million Dollar Baby was a film that actually desrved the honor of winning the Best Picture Oscar. It is gripping, real, and the acting is superior. Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman blend together so well in this movie, and make it flow so perfectly.
This is the second copy of the movie I purchased, I very rarely ever do that, but I wanted to see it on Blu-ray. The extra expense paid off, it's even better than it was on the 2 disc special edition I already owned.
