| "Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank deliver a powerful one-two punch that will knock your socks off and hit you squarely in the heart."-Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone-TheMovieChicks.com |
| "Joins the honor list of great fight films."-David Denby-New Yorker |
| "Eastwood's autumnal masterpiece."-Ty Burr-Boston Globe |
| "A movie that approaches the level of great boxing films, like Raging Bull, by using sport as a metaphor for human nature."-Jami Bernard-New York Daily Nes |
| "Remarkable"-John Anderson-Newsday |
| Hilary Swank knocks us out."-Jules Brenner-Variagate.com |
