   I was not a big fan of director Antoine Fuqua's 2004 treatment of the   
   fabled King Arthur (seemed like one long gory battle scene after   
   another) but he came up with a winner 11 years later with Southpaw, a   
   boxing yarn unlike most boxing yarns in that our hero starts out at the   
   top of his game with wealth and fame, suffers an unbearable personal   
   loss that sends his career spiraling downward, and redeems himself with   
   the help of the manager of a neighborhood training gym (Forest   
   Whitaker). The fight scenes are well done and realistic (something most   
   modern boxing films strive for but don't always achieve). Jake   
   Gyllenhaal shines in the lead with supporting roles by Rachel McAdams as   
   his loyal wife and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as his not always loyal   
   promoter in this well written (Kurt Sutter) movie.
