SOUTHPAW : Review
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal), the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion, 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 (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.
Review: a routine drama with mix of emotion give you a good time pass for 2 hrs. Jake performance will give the movie a good stand at box office. although the movie has a slow script, once you try to enjoy it you will definitely like it. Eminem gives a good number of songs to this movie, which were perfectly synchronize with the script. although Rachel contribute less in this movie, her character impacts more in the script for emotion.overall this movie will give you a good fell at the end, although it was predictable.
