Southpaw

CONTEST: Attend the Canadian Premiere of SOUTHPAW!

From director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and starring Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler, Brokeback Mountain) comes Southpaw, a story of tragedy, loss and the painful road to redemption. Billy “The Great” Hope (Gyllenhaal) is the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion whose unorthodox stance, the so-called “Southpaw,” consists of an ineloquent, though brutal, display of offensive fighting… one fueled by his own feelings of inadequacy and a desperate need for love, money and fame. With a beautiful family, home and financial security, Billy is on top both in and out of the ring until a tragic accident leaves his wife dead and sends him into a downward spiral. His days now an endless haze of alcohol and prescription drugs, his daughter taken by Child Services and his home repossessed by the bank, Billy’s fate is all but sealed until a washed up former boxer named Tick agrees to take the bereaved pugilist under his wing so long as he agrees to his strict ethos. Billy must face his demons head-on as he learns that, sometimes, your greatest opponent can be yourself.
