Not worth watching at its current price tag

Rating: 5/10 (16 November 2014)

I just finished watching the movie, and the first thing I said was "I should've seen that Keanu Reeves movie tonight instead." Honestly, I'm being generous with a five. The movie itself seems... worthless. There is no message, there is no reason to watch it. No extra thinking or discussion, all you get is an unsettled stomach. Here's what's good though: fantastic performance from Jake Gyllenhaal (who nailed his character to the wall, amazing); very good filming; a suspenseful climax. Now, why is the score so low then, you may ask? It is because of the fact that they make us try to relate to the main character who is completely unrelatable, and unlikeable. The humor can be good at times but it also makes light of some very serious events, which some critics praise but I disagree with. Overall it was just a waste of time, I could've seen another movie that's better for the same price or stayed home and played video games till 1 AM, either would've been a better use of my time.
Now, the plot itself is boring and you sit around waiting for something interesting to happen, and when something finally does happen you realize the movie is now almost over. There's also a minor sub-plot that is opened involving some detectives (that I won't get into, no spoilers) but I feel like it isn't even resolved in the end and sort of just disappears. In the end, I would say go spend your money somewhere else. If may be worth watching if you paid little money or none at all.
