SOUTHPAW (2015)
■ Billy Hope has worked hard to
achieve everything you can expect
from life. He has a beautiful and
loving wife (McAdams), a
charming daughter and great
achievements in the ring. Although
it seems impossible, in one day he
loses everything. Billy hits rock
bottom and the only way to bounce
back is to start all over again.
DONNIE
DARKO (2001)
■ Donnie is a teenager who is
considered mentally unstable. One
night he saw a strange figure: a
man-rabbit who lured him out of
the house, thus saving the boy's
life. During subsequent "visits",
the rabbit reveals to him that he is
a visitor from the future and wants
to prevent certain events.
PRISONERS (2013)

■ Keller Dover's six-year-old daughter and her

friend are abducted. Irritated by the
helplessness of the police, the father takes
matters into his own hands, but it does not
end well. This is my favorite movie
because of the interesting plot and the
great acting of Jake Gyllehall, Hugh
Jackman and Paul Dano. The movie is
very mysterious and suspenseful.
My opinion
■ I think Jake is a very talented man, he has great acting and he is a very
good person because he helps a lot with the foundation. Motivates you
to achieve your goals and shows hard work to achieve them.

Thank you!
