Excellent Movie !!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2015)

Southpaw : Ever since i watched October Sky close to a decade ago became a big fan of Jake Gyllenhal , over the years Jake has done some amazing roles be it Donnie Darko or playing the creepy Journalist in Nightcrawler, In southpaw Jake gives a memorable if not one of the best performances this year so far , he literally carried the entire movie on his shoulders and if it was not for him the movie would have been pretty ordinary , In a complete turnaround from his skeletal look in last year's Nightcrawler, he's practically unrecognizable as the beefed-up, Billy, burying his own slim frame and fine bone structure beneath layers of weight and muscle.This is one of the best Boxing movies i have seen.The only thing that was little bit disappointing was the background score which at times felt was kind of dull, but other than that the movie is very good , will recommend to go watch the movie.
