Description

From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and screenwriter Kurt Sutter (“Sons of Anarchy”), SOUTHPAW tells the riveting story of Billy "The Great" Hope, reigning Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World (Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal). Billy Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive career, a beautiful and loving wife (Rachel McAdams), an adorable daughter (Oona Laurence) and a lavish lifestyle. When tragedy strikes and his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) leaves him behind, Hope hits rock bottom and turns to an unlikely savior at a run-down local gym: Tick Willis (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city's toughest amateur boxers. With his future riding on Tick's guidance and tenacity, Billy enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves.

I thought this might be some potential boxing movie that might be worth seeing... I was wrong. This was a fight just to watch. The brilliance of 'THE FIGHTER' with its great acting is not found here. Instead the wrong actors tried so hard to be very dramatic in a movie that just gets worse as the acting does....

Awesome Film! Jake's best performance!

I’m not a huge fan of the boxing genre movie. I feel as though all of these movies mirror Rocky (including every sequel to Rocky) and don’t have much new to offer. I saw this was a 99 cent rental and figured I couldn’t go wrong. I am a fan of Rachel McAdams and Fuqua (Training Day, Equalizer, and yes, even King Arthur). After watching this movie, I am now a huge fan of Jake Gyllenhaal. He brings raw emotion to this movie which you feel in every scene that reminded me a lot of Tom Hardy in “Warrior”. As a matter of fact, he straight up carries this movie on his back. Even though the plot may be considered “predictable”, it leaves you rooting for Gyllenhaal by the end. As in most Fuqua movies, the music is banging too, check out the soundtrack. I will definitely watch this again in the near future.

Not a usual boxing movie.

It might have something to do with the fact I watched Creed prior to seeing Southpaw but this certainly didn't live up up the hype. Very predictable with badly choreographed fight scenes. Didn't feel it was worth it even for $0.99

Overall, the movie wasn't 2 bad. There could have been some more fight scenes both in & out of the ring 2 help this film live up 2 it's name & hype. The story line was fairly good & ol' Jake G. proved he could handle that type of roll. Tho he needed 2 make of film like this after broke back mountain. More fight scenes & a little less of the dramatic plot would've put this @ 5🌟's!!

Southpaw???

Yes. Southpaw. My husband and I watched this, not knowing the story or the plot. It is easily on my top 25 all time favorite movies list. McAdams kills it, as usual. Jake has been deserving of Oscar nods in the past, but he deserves a win for this one.

Really wanted to like this movie. Great idea for a story. Great cast. But as I watched it, I was less and less engaged with it and couldn’t figure out why. Thought maybe the lack of moving music score was to blame, but realized it really wasn’t a good movie. So disappointed and I wouldn’t recommend it. In spite of the commitment of some pretty good actors to their characters it seriously lacked seasoning.

Well done, excellent acting

If the fight choreography was realistic, this movie might be more enjoyable, even engaging, as the sweet science. As it is, the fighting is goofy, and the drama and characters are not written well enough to sustain. Instead, the viewer is left to drudge along with a tomato can boxer who looks and sounds one foot in the grave with a face to match.

Look, if you saw the trailer for this movie, it gives away the whole movie but this is different. Put that all aside and just watch the movie it will blow you away!! The performances are top notch including the daughter in the film! This movie needs to be nominated for its acting. Best actor for Jake Gyllenhaal, best supporting actress for Rachel McAdams and best supporting actress for Oona Laurence (the daughter) 🙌🏼🏆! This is a must see and I highly recommend this to anyone but WARNING this is a tear jerker and it is hard to watch so bring tissues, I'm a guy and I cried in this movie and I never do to these types of movies lol!

The following morning after watching it we couldn't even remember the name of the movie. It made that much of an impact. Predictable and melodramatic. Nothing original. Just bit parts of Rocky and the Mayweather circus meets Entourage. Nobody boxes/fights like this. You would think they would get that part right considering it IS a boxing movie.

Though Southpaw is as formulaic as any boxing movie ever, the performances, especially by Jake are enough to hold this movie up as a stand-out. I love Eminem but I couldn’t be happier he backed out. Jake G. is a rising star coming to a rolling boil, exploding on screen.

Jake was amazing as always but so were Forrest Whitaker, Rachel McAdams, and the actress that played the daughter. It had a great story focusing on dealing with grief, anger, and maturity as well as controlling your destiny and not letting your emotions overtake you.the fight scenes were well done as well. It was a little cliche but hey if it ain't broke don't fix it
