Director: Antoine Fuqua
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, Forest Whitaker
Release: July 31st, 2015
That this film looks bad ass is beyond argument. Jake is ripped, Rachel is hot, Forest as a trainer, Fitty with a cameo; all that is cool. But wow does the story look cheesy. Sly Stallone got away with it in the 70s because he wrote the script in a couple hours and succeeded in making Rocky the grittiest thing people had ever seen. I’m worried that in today’s world we won’t be as forgiving. I don’t know, maybe it was just a bad trailer, but I was more excited about this movie before I saw this.
