Devious and twisted fun

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2015)

If you enjoyed Jesse Eisenberg's performance of Mark Zuckerberg in the Social Network then you will love the performance of Jake Gyllenhaal as Louis Bloom in this gem of a movie. The styles are almost one in the same. The fact that both believe so much in what they are doing, that the mere notion of wrongdoing is simply laughable. Also, I believe this movie was probably listed as a drama, but its true deserts would be much more forthcoming as being a black comedy. If you have a twisted sense of humor much like I do then this movie will be a real treat for you. Not to mention that in between the guilty pleasure laughs (that are a plenty throughout this film), the action sequences are filmed with a Bourne-like intensity. I am a writer and often times I get work done while I have a movie playing on my TV. Needless to say, with this movie I did not get a lot of writing accomplished. In a word, this movie is "FANTASTIC"!!
