Review of Southpaw (2015) by Antonius B — 03 Jun 2016

Thank goodness CGI was so effective in making Jake Gyllenhaal's abs look so fantastic! (I'm kidding, calm down). Gyllenhaal obviously worked very hard for this role, but it's too bad the movie is so derivative and predictable.

It's nice to see 50 Cent and Forest Whittaker and they do well, at least, as well as they can given the script. I hate how director Antoine Fuqua exercises no restraint and treats us like idiots with this rehash.

There are far better and more original boxing movies out there.
