Great performance from Gyllenhaal

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2019)

Really cool setting as you see a rough raw side of Los Angeles and of course with beaches and sunny weather but paired with a somewhat dark sinister story it really works. its a theme that's not been seen before, i can't decide if its a thriller, drama, horror or comedy perhaps a mix of all of them. i really liked Jake Gyllenhaals performance in this you can see how he has prepared for the role especially regarding his weight loss, he portrays a vulture esque displaying bulging eyes and no remorse for what he's doing even his movements remind me of a coyote or wild dog fighting for scraps.its interesting to see that non of the characters in the film really pick up on the fact he is blank and emotionless. I would of liked some more character development but maybe that was the point that he has no story, no family and no friends. could of done with a few more characters for Lou to interact with but who wants to interact with a man like Lou Bloom.
