Jake Gyllenhaal’s Startling ‘Southpaw’ Makeover: Exclusive Photo | Deadline
Quite the transformation.

Southpaw Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams Movie HD - YouTube

This first trailer itself was kinda spoilersh hence I ended up not posting it few months back. If you are already sold on the movie from the premise and photo from the previous link, avoid watching the trailer.

I've just seen this, it is quite epic. Very well turned in performances from the entire cast and some of the most realistic boxing Ive seen in a movie. You can tell the guys prepped well, their footwork and head movement is spot on. there is a lot of haymakers flying around, but you got to get some drama in there. It does borrow a lot from Rocky in places, but after 6 movies its hard for any boxing film not to.

There is almost a big twist in this film, but I'm not sure

Spoiler

When he gets the title shot and his daughter back and she says she wants to come to the fight, I had this sinking feeling it was all gonna end like Champ. There even a few moments in the fight were I thought, he's all busted inside and is gonna die in the dressing room with her draped over him. And he didn't, so I don't know if that counts as twist or not but it twisted me to a degree!!

Surprised theres not more posts about this movie. Only just seen this (silly me) and i was blown away but then again having jake, rachel and forest who are some of my fav actors already made it a plus. I had to immediatly think of the first Rocky when seeing this. Best fighting chor ive seen in a long time, especially for a boxing movie.

Maybe because this is mostly a science fiction forum? Are there any space ships in this movie?:confused

While majority of threads involve sci fi in the costume/ prop section. The entertainment-movie forum isnt and we should be glad that we can discuss good movies even if his opponent wasnt an alien :eek
