Great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2014)

I watched this movie yesterday in a theater in Stockholm and I think this was a great movie. I didn't expect anything from the movie because I had no previous information at all but I was pleasantly surprised. Jake Gyllenhaal is doing a great job as the deeply disturb main character. He has the ability, which very few actors have, to look absolutely crazy without overacting. Hes totally empty eyes are really scary. It is a fascinating portrait of a manipulating psychopath. All other actors are doing very good too, especially Rene Russo as the cynical newswomen.
Another thing that I really liked about the movie was the camera- work. It was beautifully executed and make Los Angeles look both beautiful and creepy at the same time. Even the music was great and used in a exact manner so it was not something you miss and not something that was irritating.
All in all a great movie,thrilling and deep with philosophical issues without being cryptically. Everyone in this movie is doing a great job and I recommend this movie to anyone.
