Rachel McAdams, um bom motivo para lutar |
NOCAUTE (SOUTHPAWN, USA, 2015) – Antoine Fuqua traz de volta o fascínio do boxe para a tela com talento incomum, apesar do roteiro pouco original. A atuação visceral de Jake Gyllenhaal é outro pilar deste filme sobre as lições da derrota. E, claro, há Rachel McAdams. Antoine Fuqua has most certainly brought his charm back into the ring by bringing a fascinating boxing drama to the big screen. Even though it may have a all to familiar plot when it comes to the formulaic boxing aspect, this film really smooths out well with such heavenly storytelling, we are given a accurate accusation of how something can affect someone in the hardest way possible. Jake Gyllenhaal giving a ferocious performance as a down on his luck boxer was truly a grand experience. He really stuck to his character by bringing such a mad man to the ring and a man who would strive to make his family a whole once again, one wondrous performance I must say. One person other than Jake that really stood out was Forest Whitaker, he easily gave one of the best performances of this year so far! And, of course, Rachel McAdams is there.
