Southpaw

Southpaw is a heartbreaking yet uplifting sports drama showcasing forgiveness and redemption.

Mostly a mediocre Rocky imitator, chock full of cliche after cliche, often pretty forced. But it was overall watchable if you can get over that. It had the vibe of a movie directed toward 12 year olds. If it was marketed as just a children's movie, I guess that would be okay, but was rated R, and it's hard to see many adults finding it satisfying. If you really lower your bar and just want to veg out watching an unoriginal boxing film with a vaguely feel-good ending, I suppose this fits the bill.

From superstar to a humble man. I love how billy hope progresses and becomes a better person overall, The fact that he lost it all but still he kept on thriving. It really shows that even though you have fallen, you can still climb back up and reach the top and that’s really a good life lesson. Love the movie and acting !

It delivers the right punches. Overblows the system coming down on him a bit.

El personaje que interpreta Jake Gyllenhaal es fenomenal. Se siente tan real e intenso el dolor que vive, aunque en ocasiones llega a caer mal. Aun así la película es excepcional y motivadora al ver a alguien renacer y convertirse en una leyenda.

As usual, Jake killed it in this role. When i first watched a few years back, i thought the fight sequences were good. Upon rewatching it all these years later, i don't think they were bad per say, but they weren't as good as i remembered them. You can see Jake's boxing inexperience and Anthony Fuqua's direction isn't the best here. It's your typical camera work to disguise poor coreography, lack of fight scene realism, etc Having said that, i think where this movie shines is as a drama. It's a decent one, even if a little bit forced and inauthentic at times. Overall, i liked it better when i first watched it all those years back than i did upon rewatching it now, but that doesn't mean this is a bad movie. It's still definitely worth a watch.

Southpaw brings both emotional and physical aspects of life trauma into the boxing field, providing a gut wrenching film. Although I do believe it is not a fully accurate representation of the sensitive topics it focuses on, I think it creates a good lesson and showcasing of how one can overcome obstacles and fight for others.

Casual, cliche'ed sport drama. Nothing. Not bad, not good enough for a 7/10. Coach Carter is much better

I can't get past plot, structure, character. I still can't watch Fight Club. The Ingloriousness of violence and people hitting each other overplaces any allegory or metaphor as to what is on the streets of our time. This is simple reinforcement of our past, present and future. I don't wish a movie to Tell and shout at me what I feel already. Can't be bothered with Truth I see already.

Increíble la peli admirable la transformación de el actor y reachel espectacular como siempre
