Negative Positive
Title: First part very good but second not so
Review: This film has two parts which have different qualities. In the first part there is the excellent account of a young woman boxer who wants to become a champion and is looking for a fine trainer to teach her. After much hesitation, Frankie (Clint Eastwood) accepts to be her mentor and her talent and stubborness coupled with fine coaching lead her to the top class of women's box. The second part is about the sensitive issue of euthanasia and although Eastwood tries his best the film can not be compared to the Spanish The Sea Inside which is head and soulders above it in terms of realism, acting and emotional weight.
