Southpaw Movie Reviews
Southpaw
is a drama/sports film directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Jake
Gyllenhaal. Although clichéd, the way the story of this film is told is
what makes it great. The acting was great throughout the film especially
by Gyllenhaal and ,surprisingly, Oona Laurence was fantastic. The film
was well directed. Especially the boxing scenes themselves were shot
very well and did a good job of really putting you in the shoes of the
fighters. The dramatic scenes were done very well but we're very dark
and depressing. This is not a light hearted film by any means. It deals
with very sad subjects and is very gritty. On the negative side of
things there is not much to say. It was well paced, well directed, and
very well acted by everyone. It earns a solid 8/10.
