Lou isn't the real problem, but the society who creates and rewards this type of people

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2019)

At first I thought about just giving the movie the 10/10, without actually writing anything. However, I finally come up with something to write. I usually to these reviews to mainly remind myself of what I thought about the movie right after seeing it, something I get lazy and don't write anything, and sometimes I forced myself to it. I loved this movie, and it got me at the egde of my sit the entire runtime basically, but it was difficult to find a specific thing I wanted to remind myself in the future.
I saw some videos analyzing the movie, and bringing up the best parts of it, and the one that hock me the most was the one by the YT Channel "Lessons from the Screenplay" dissecting the art of building a story throughout the eyes of an anti-hero (or what some people would say, a villain, in this case). The way the film builds itself, and the layers the screenplay has are amazing, but at the end, the main reason why at some point we get ourselves rooting for the guy in a certain degree, is because at the end of the day, he is a perfect example of a "villain" created by society, our sensationalists news shows, wanting ratings more than the true, or even covering the most relevant stories at all, and even more, the industry that rewards this type of person, not only in the news business in this case, but the rewarding of people doing bad things overall, it's something that's overlooked, and will continue to be so as long as it makes money. That's the most amazing thing I took from this movie's story. Keep it in mind, future me.
The acting is kind of a silly thing to talk about it at this point, Jake Gyllenhaal is insane, every new movie I watch from him, I become more and more a fan. The dude is ridiculously talented, has an insane charisma, and it's clearly committed as f# in his holes (he lost 20 pounds for this role). Everyone in the movie is awesome, Ahmed is great as well, he is also really talented. Everyone is basically solid as a rock in the movie.
The last 20 minutes of it are insanely thrilling, the build up to it is perfect, you feel the urge, you care for what's in stake. Amazing. I truly don't have a single bad thing to point out here, so, I can't do anything but giving it a 10 out of 10.
