Age of The Nerd
Over the last few years Jake Gyllenhaal has transformed himself into one of the better actors in Hollywood. He completely transforms into the character he’s paying and always give an enthralling performance. His newest film, Southpaw, looks to continue this trend. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) and written by Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy) and Richard Wenk (16 Blocks, The Equalizer), Southpaw looks like a twist on the typical sports films. The first trailer is here, but beware it gives a lot of the plot away.
Here’s the first official trailer:
