Review of Southpaw (2015) by Jason D — 06 Dec 2015
I felt this was a competent, normal-ass movie. The one thing it did really well was Hope's psychological angle, though one refusal of a job is petty and seems out of character. I felt it could have been better in other areas.
The boxing, while more realistic than, say, Rocky, was still not ideal. Also, I wanted more development on Hope's daughter at CPS. Incidentally, McAdams' character was much more of a siren than I was expecting, though it makes sense given her backstory.
I enjoyed Fuqua's direction.
