I wonder how I would have felt about this film if I hadn't gone into it with all the expectations from the Oscar hype and the awards and critical praise that it has already received. It's a good film but I didn't think it was anything special. Not even Eastwood's best film by any means. The first 2/3rds was an enjoyable boxing movie, your typical rise of the underdog story. The final 1/3 was relentlessly depressing and difficult to watch.
Eastwood was great, as was Swank, though I think her character wasn't as developed as his. I just don't think this is Best Picture caliber.
