One of the better boxing movies

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2016)

Definitely one of the better boxing movies I ever saw. Not only for the sport but also the story behind it. The story of the boxer Billy Hope (played beautifully by Jake Gyllenhaal) that wins everything and is at the top of his career when suddenly he loses everything and has to fight back to get his life back on track. The struggle, the comeback, the fights are all very pleasant to watch. With Jake Gyllenhaal and Forest Whitaker together you can't go wrong. They are both really good in Southpaw. Even if you don't really like boxing the movie is still pleasant to watch. I for sure did enjoy Southpaw a lot and can only recommend it.
