Review of Southpaw (2015) by Madmaxfuryroad — 30 Aug 2015

Once again Director Antoine Fuqua delivers one of the best dramas of the year. I've been a fan of his since Training Day and The Equalizer was just really good. Now, coming to Southpaw, I thought the trailer was really good, but might spoil too much.

Then I saw this, and WOW, I realized I shouldn't have seen the trailer. First if all,(it's pretty obvious), Jake Gyllenhaal can really act into many different roles. He is really good in this film and so is Forest Whitaker.

Oona Laurence is also pretty good too. But how Fuqua directed this with his own style was just so fun to watch, and I really want to see the next movie of his. Toward, the last half of the movie, the film did start to drag and I could see some people saying it was bad, but really you gotta see this movie, as this is one of those unique movies that has an actor really into his role.

Also side-note: this film was much more bloodier than I expected.
