Great writing and delivery!
mickerdooOctober 24, 2025
Gyllenhaal's performance of a sociopath is bone chilling. Filled with cringes, jaw drops and insensitivity. A modern thriller masterpiece.

One of my favourite performances of the last 15 years. Excellent film, made me feel gross for watching.
Pascal BollierDecember 29, 2025
This movie relies to a large degree on the performance of Jake Gyllenhaal. and what a performance it is! his co-stars deliver the goods also, rene russo being chief amongst them. i would have pereferred a more definitive ending but that is a subjective and minor complaint. Excellent movie and well worth your time!

I was tempted to watch this film before, but I never got around to it until a close friend mentioned it reminded him of me. I like that it never judges you and simply presents a situation, leaving you free to interpret it however you want. Personally, I relate to the protagonist in the way he pursues his goals and how isolated he feels in society based on his interests. Magnanimous.

A sociopathic reporter and aspiring capitalist in the sociopathic world of media. This is how corporations are created: you have to steal first watch.

I’m reminded every time I watch one of his movies that it’s insane that Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t have an Oscar
