I liked it, too, although I thought the premise was implausible: 30-year-old waitress works a few months with aging veteran trainer, then immediately dominates younger, more experienced opponents with an unbroken string of KOs right up throught the championship. If they HAD to use Eastwood, Freeman, and Swank, I suppose it was the best they could do. However, I think I'd prefer younger actors and a longer, less meteoric career so the main character would really EARN her title, not have it handed to her on a screenwriter's plate.
