One of the best boxing films in history with a breathtaking performance from Gyllenhaal!

Rating: 9/10 (31 August 2015)

"When you lose everything, don't give up because there's always a hope.." Southpaw is an inspirational film that tells a story of love, hate, anger, redemption and forgiveness. As a dramas fan, I was hyped for this movie and I thought that I was prepared to see a decent, action-packed, cliché boxing movie. But...I was completely wrong. When the movie ended, I was left there on my seat jaw-dropped just trying to understand that I had just watched on of the most exceptional dramas in the recent years. The brilliant acting of all actors in combination with an amazing plot and great filmography delivered an extraordinary and nail-biting film. Gyllenhaal gave an astonishing performance and proved once again what an outstanding and transformative actor he is.
Do a favor to yourselves and go watch this movie, if you haven't yet!
