Negative Positive
Title: plodding cliche
Review: Another boxing as metaphor for life film. The supporting actors can't act. The story goes nowhere. The characters aren't developed (all we know about Eastwood's character is that he must be really smart because he reads Yeats) and the villains are like cartoons. Morgan Freeman is once again typecast--his all knowing, pedantic monologue attempst to buoy a vapid script.This film won an Oscar?! Am I missing something here?
Is the review positive or negative?
