So Southpaw is Rocky, Rocky V and a little Cinderella Man rolled into one!

At no point in this film did I connect with it. All the way through it just reminded me of Rocky. Very disappointing! Not one minute of this movie excited me, stirred emotions or surprised me. I knew exactly how it was going to end.

Forrest Whitaker gives a good performance but not his best. Jake is also good but again not great. The rest of the cast is mediocre.

If you watch this you're going to feel so let down. I really wouldn't bother. It's 2 hours I won't get back!

Watch Cinderella Man instead....fantastic flick :-)
