I saw Southpaw yesterday and what can I say, the shoots were beautiful and gruesome at the same time. The Story is fast told really. Champion Boxer with a loose temper feels responsible for the death of his wife who died in a quarrel with another Boxer. He falls into depression - nearly kills himself, gets bankrot and only wakes up when the body of law takes his daughter away.
He starts all over from the bottom in order to get his daughter back - so he aims for the big fight with the new World Champion - former reason of the death of his wife and of cause wins and also gains the love of his daughter back crawling back his way to the top. This picture looks a lot more natural than Rocky will ever be. Jake´s movements are clearly that of a Boxer.
But even more remarkable was the performance of Hope´s daughter played by Oona Laurence, even the guy couldn´t hold his awe as she tells her Dad that it would have been better for him to die instead of her Mum.
All in all, really enjoyable. Grab your girl and go for it - she´ll like it.
