Rottentomatoes Tomatometer: 60% Average Rating: 6/10 Critics Consensus:Jake Gyllenhaal delivers an impressively committed performance, but Southpaw beats it down with a dispiriting drama that pummels viewers with genre clichés.
Metacritic Metascore: 57
Hopefully this goes up as it gets closer to release. I'm still extremely excited for it.

Looks like Creed has a better chance of winning now.

I didn't know this was suppose to be a sequel to 8 Mile? The 8 Mile Cinematic Universe?

In its early stages it was meant as a sequel, but that idea was scrapped as the project developed into something else entirely.

The tomatometer went up and has a solid average rating. Keep it up Southpaw! Keep it up! Go up to at least a mid 80's.

RT has been acting bipolar lately. Ant-Man started somewhere around a low 60%, but then went all the way up to 80%. Southpaw was at 71% this morning, now it's at 56%.

It could be worse, Yonny, Southpaw could've been cancelled.

@RamboOnRedBull It only got cancelled because Bryan Fuller went on to work on another TV show called American Gods, which is coming next year. So Hannibal still has a chance to return.
