I AM LOOKING FOR A JOB

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2018)

Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is introduced to us as a theft, a con artist, and a fast talker. He has spent his time in front of a computer digesting information. He knows all the buzz words and phrases and uses them to manipulate people. He has become a bit of a sociopath due to his lack of interfacing with humans, but does not desire to be one, seeking a normal life.
One night Louis accidentally discovers his calling...filming crime and selling it to the news. Louis takes chances while making his film, wanting to create something no one else has. As the film progresses so does Louis as he become more daring, crossing the line for a news shot. The man has done his homework.
This is an interesting film in that Louis represents our future, for better or worse, a race of humans with social skills learned from a machine. The film slowly increases in intensity and takes you to a point of feeling uncomfortable. This is not a film for everyone, but one for those who like things a little dark.
Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.
