So, if you’ve ever really wanted to watch Jake Gyllenhaal get the crap beat out of him, you’ll probably enjoy the trailer for Southpaw.  Judging from the preview, Jake is apparently playing a boxer who gets beat up a lot and who loses his wife and nearly loses his daughter.  Jake really did deserve an Oscar for Nightcrawler.  Southpaw doesn’t look like an Oscar contender but it does look like another chance to Jake to prove his versatility and encourage us all to forget his unfortunae starring turn in the terrible Love and Other Drugs.
