Failed in the end

Rating: 4/10 (1 November 2014)

There's no doubt about the performance of Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie, he's without a doubt adjusted the Matthew Mcconaughey system of losing weight and improving his character's appeal to the audience, I even think that he might also have a shot in the big boys league again (after Brokeback mountain) HOWEVER- it seems to me that there was a nice build up to the story and a promising start for the characters BUT (stay calm-- NO SPOILERS) it has no message in the end of it. There's no "aw" inspiring moment you should have when you see a finished masterpiece, it lacked the moral of the story! To me it seemed like the end of Rocky minus the part where Rocky actually takes the risk of making something big with himself and moving from being a so called loser to the guy who took a shot and inspired everybody to get "the eye of the tiger" out of us all by getting what he deserved, it's like the Felina episode of BreakingBad minus the actual ending --no higher meaning... I literally came out with disappointment ,surrounded by people who came to see it without thinking for a second what the premise was
