one of the most interesting characters in films

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2014)

for me, what makes a great scripts is a good plot, brilliant dialogues and most importantly well written characters. and this movie has it all. Jake's character is most certainly very interesting (and played brilliantly by him, his best performance so far), he is lonely and has no one so he fills this void with reading and educating himself via the internet. he gives no excuses for being a looser, so he tries his best to make it in life with whatever he has in hands (internet and a crappy car and whatever he can steal) he is an extremely good talker (I think i will memorize his speech from the scene where he was trying to get a job so i can use it in my job interviews)
this story is basically about a man who believes that the end justifies the means. who will do whatever it takes to make it. he is basically a survivor who doesn't settle of a good life, he always wants a better one. (this shows, for example, when he used to steal things because he didn't have a job, then he stopped stealing when we got one) so he is not the thief per say, he just would do whatever it takes to survive.
although what he did might seem extreme for the viewers, i think we all knew someone who is just like him, a shark. a lot of the top people in this world made it to the top by sacrificing some of their morals. if its not killing, it stealing or cheating..etc. this doesn't make it right, but it is the sad truth. and this movie portrays this in a very thrilling and exciting way. we got to see the story of a broke man who made it to the top by doing any think we could do even if it is not quite moral.
