Jyllenhaal is a good actor but not good enough to make this movie worth watching

Rating: 2/10 (15 July 2016)

Granted I was distracted during parts of the movie but never the less, I didn't think this movie lived up the reviews. To sum the movie up, A weird creepy guy doesn't have a job and goes around town asking to work for literally anyone, even a car repo place, for free!
One day this weird creepy dude (whom some critics claim has high functioning autism but I think he is just a regular sociopath) comes across an accident where news reporters are filming it and decides, "Oh, this is how I could make money!" He then goes and buys a crappy camera and starts recording a much footage as he can. Somehow he manages to get footage ahead of the rest by listening to police scanners 24/7 (which literally all News stations do but I digress.) He even films a crime scene before police arrive.somehow. So basically out of all reporters, cops, and detectives, he uses a police scanner accessible to the public and manages to get there first.
The movie is SO slow. I kept waiting for a plot twist but nope. Just the creepy guy filming more scenes in a loosely strung together plot. The main character is able to interfere with crime scenes, google search license plates with ease (in the 90's!!), and cut the breaks of a rival van without conflict. In fact, there really isn't any conflict. I've seen Disney films with conflict that was more solemn. Seriously, it's 1 + long movie of a weird sociopath shooting films leaving the audience on edge just waiting for the twist that never comes. This movie is like a roller coaster with no loopsso I guess more akin to a traina slow morning freight train. So if you want to watch a slow movie freight trainyou may enjoy this film.
