Shamelessly manipulative or not, it’s an undeniably successful tactic, so when tragedy strikes the Hope family, I was, pardon the pun, hopelessly depressed for the next hour of the movie. This device is a matter of exploitation – it’s not the gifted storytelling of Kurt Sutter’s screenplay or the deft direction of Fuqua that stirs our hearts to the right place, it’s our gut primal response to want to protect children. It’s meant to be that way – “Southpaw” appeals to our instincts to protect family above all else, pushing our buttons from the start to get involved with these characters. The chemistry in these scenes is a matter of performance rather than direction, but it’s difficult not to get involved. The plot follows orphan boxer Billy Hope (Gyllenhaal) just after winning the championship, who’s compelled to retire after his wife begs him to look after his family. The movie’s successes become a question of iterations and deviations rather than invention, the most important being the highs and lows of family. These movies are a type, and no matter what Jake Gyllenhaal says in his interview circuit promoting the film, “Southpaw” doesn’t break the mold in any obvious way. To reveal anything of the film’s plot couldn’t be called a spoiler, since you probably know the ending before ever stepping into the theater.

There’s the down-on-his-luck boxer full of rage, and there’s even the wife (a memorable Rachel McAdams) concerned for her husband’s body and mind. There’s the old cynical trainer-the boxers last hope of winning and redemption (played by a half blind and goateed Forest Whitaker). The formula, as surely taught in screenwriting 101, is rise, fall, and rise again, complete with the expected furnishings. Perceptive (or just bored) viewers may leave the theaters in a cloud of prophetic glee having predicted it beat by beat by beat.

“Southpaw”, the latest movie by “Training Day’ filmmaker Antoine Fuqua, is a telegraphed paint-by-numbers boxing drama you’ve seen a hundred times before. Originality isn’t a necessary condition for quality movies, but it does help.
