"Phenomenal" and award winning material

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2015)

Southpaw is an excellent movie to watch this July. I watched it yesterday with my friend Alexis, and we both cried at the end and in between parts. Overall, it was just a emotional roller-coaster for me. There were certain parts where I began to tear up. The fact that Billy Hope is really trying to fight to the top again to get his daughter back is just so heartwarming. And believe me, when you do watch this movie, it will touch you deep in the heart. Personally for me, it made me realize to be grateful for the people i have in my life, and that anything is possible if you just put your mind to it. It's definitely a great movie. Also, the cast is "phenomenal". Jake Gyllenhaal puts on a killer performance and so does Oona Laurence (Billy Hope's daughter). I strongly think that Jake Gyllenhaal overall is a such a unique and amazing actor. He has played a troubled teenage in Donnie Darko, a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mount., a Persian prince in Prince Of Persia, a scrawny cameraman in Nightcrawler, an enigmatic detective in Prisoners, a mad marine in Jarhead, and now a struggling boxer in Southpaw. Maybe this movie will be nominated for an Oscar.
