Southpaw (2015),
The chemistry between the leading characters elevates this already brilliantly woven tale.
A successful boxer (Jake Gyllenhaal) falls into a desperate spiral following a tragic incident. And we mean tragic… we’re still haunted by it. Billy “The Great” Hope, must rebuild his life, his relationship with his daughter and career with spit, grit and the tutorage of ex-pro Titus “Tick” Wills (Forest Whitaker). to begin a guerilla insurrection against the Nazis. The gang is joined by fellow freedom fighters German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), and theatre owner Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent). Christoph Waltz’s performance as SS Colonel Hans Landa in the movie’s opening scene is one of cinema’s finest.
