Best Picture honors were awarded to Clint Eastwood’s sports drama, about an aging trainer (Eastwood) and an aspiring female boxer (Hilary Swank), but the movie is mostly a tribute to his work ethic. “If I’m too old for this, then I got nothing,” Swank’s fighter says early in her training. Interesting if pedestrian efforts such as this suggest Eastwood the filmmaker would probably say the same thing.
