Saw it yesterday, thought it was really good. Jake did his thing, got some sexy shots of Rachael Macadams, 50 Cent's acting was bad but at least tolerable unlike his other movies and the theatre didn't get shot up.

Did he really have an orthodox stance in the movie?

What a sad time we live in.

I'd rather see the Creed movie instead

And from now on Jake will understand why Floyd Mayweather, not Manny Pacquiao, is the greatest boxer of this generation.
