Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: Jan, who loved GIRLFIGHT, was bored by the predictable plot & under-developed supporting characters, but Rich loved the lived-in ambience & moody soundtrack. Swank’s a supposedly feisty boxer; Eastwood’s her reluctant trainer (“I don’t train girls.”); Freeman’s the wiser-than-wise gym manager & narrator; Martindale is Swank’s white trash Okie Mom.
