Southpaw, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams and Forest Whitaker is an instant classic and a truly 10/10, 5 Star film. The film is gripping from start to finish with sublime acting, and a refreshing, incredible soundtrack to accompany it.
Jake Gyllenhaal (Prisoners, Nightcrawler) delivers an outstanding performance as the leading star, I've never seen acting from him quite like that and he's proved time and time over that he is an incredible actor and versatile when it comes to roles, with his co-star Rachel McAdams (The Time Traveler's Wife, Sherlock Holmes) supporting him and the film brilliantly their combination in the opening setting made the emotional scenes both at the start to the end that much more grasping. Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, The Butler), another amazing actor also delivers a performance to rival some of his previous best roles, his role in the film brings the tone to an utmost highest degree of gritty, sharp viewing. Oona Laurence's performance as Billy Hope's (Jake Gyllenhaal) daughter really brings everything together, she's going places for sure
The film instantly grasps your attention and not for a single scene does it loose it, the script and screenplay are amazing; really bringing so much to life and giving dramatic twists into the courageous boxing film. Southpaw is gritty, interesting, sharp, moving, emotional, and close-to-perfect film.
