This movie was too depressing. I went to see it because of the great cast, but left the theater after 20 minutes. If you have a friend who's always annoyingly happy, take him to see this 'blockbuster' and see the smile disappear from his lips - guaranteed.
Amazing movie worth a watch any night of the week
Any one who compares this to any other fight movie didn't watch the movie. Any one who says 'no emotion', is simply wrong. Yes predictable because there is defeat and resurrection. But the characters grow, and the acting believable. This was a good one. Go see it.
This movie was fantastic. Definitely Oscar-worthy performances. Southpaw tugs at many emotional strings throughout and that is hard to find in some movies today. Would highly recommend this movie. Really hope this gets some Oscar buzz.
AMAZING!! My husband and I are big movie goers and we absolutely loved this film. Some people are being very critical about this movie but clearly don't understand what makes a well-rounded film. This is a must see if you love a great movie! Jake is a brilliant actor and deserves an Oscar!!! 5 stars all the way!
I really enjoyed this movie.....pretty heavy drama.....lots of blood and heart wrenching moments.
ROCKY with a blaring soundtrack but no heart.
I thought this movies was excellent. Somtimes hard to watch the fighing. Plesantly surprised
Forgot to give the movie a star rating in my review...loved it...definitely a 5 star!!!
Loved this movie! Jake Gyllenhaal is in great shape and his performance is oscar worthy! Oona Laurence, as his daughter is phenomenal, and also deserves a supporting actress nomination! The acting was so believable! Forest Whithaker and Rachel McAdams were also excellent! I was in tears twice in the movie and my friend cried all the way through! Although predictable, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat and cheering for the underdog! For a great night out at the movies, go see this one! Well worth seeing!
