Jake Gyllenhaal and the final sequence make the film!

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2015)

By the theme and the opinion of the public, I thought this movie would probably be one of the best movies of 2014. However, I think this movie is just 'good', what is a surprise. No doubt the criticism of the media is something memorable and that will make most people who attended think otherwise in relation to journalism and the media.
Surprisingly, the movie didn't captivate me. About Jake's job, it was really a great performance, snubbed by the Academy. I could make a link between his performance with Cumberbatch's in the Imitation Game, because both worked very well in a unusual personality, not just in the lines, but also with the gestures, the way they move, among other things (I am not being very successful in explaining what I mean). I would say that Jake's performance is better than the Michael Keaton's one in Birdman and it is probably better than Bradley Cooper in American Sniper (I still haven't watched the movie, but I don't take a lot of faith in Bradley Cooper in this movie). The performance of Rene Russo is also really good, even though I think that her character isn't very good. I also like very much the performance of the Lou's partner.
Till just before the end of the movie, I would give six stars. But I really think that the final sequence, where the character Lou stalks the murderers, is EXCELLENT. The scene of the pursuit and what this results is, in my opinion, the best part in the whole movie and thanks to it, I give seven stars.
(That's my first review entirely in English, so I apologize for possible mistakes)
