Very good, even though it could have been more!

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2014)

Jake Gyllenhaal is just amazing, totally convincing and creepy. And the latter is where the movie fails a little bit. Louis' creepiness is not explored to its full extend. The movie had potential to become a very good horror flick, if Louis had been portrayed as a complete psychopath, also able to extreme violence and kill. But at times the movie is even comical, which is fine, but breaks the concept a bit.
It would have been good for the story if Louis and Nina (Russo) had become a couple with no scruples whatsoever, both killing to achieve success in the news business.
Unfortunately Bill Paxton's part is very small.
All in all, it's a very good movie and I enjoyed it a lot!
