Southpaw (2015)

My Thanksgiving movie programming this year was a marathon of boxing dramas. I'm not a big sports guy but for some reason I like boxing movies.  Creed was pretty fucking amazing. Just a few flaws.  Tonight, I did Raging Bull and Resurrecting the Champ and I saw Southpaw for the first time.  I heard a lot of mixed shit about this. To me, this was good.  Yeah, it's nothing new or fresh but I thought it was great entertainment.  It was emotional too.  Maybe because I'm a father myself.  This did it for me.  Not a top 10 contender but it was better than I expected. 
7 out of 10.
