Unique and captivating

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2015)

Jake Gyllenhaal continues to demonstrate strong acting range and a discriminating taste in role selection. I appreciated the entrepreneurial drive demonstrated by the main character. Every person that succeeds at business has gotten into questionable areas and had to take a self assessment to see if they have crossed a personal boundary. This film does a wonderful job of revealing that aspect of the human experience. The film makers did a nice job of slowly building the feeling of approaching darkness. It was done so tactfully that it was challenging to predict how the experience would be wrapped up. The ending does not disappoint.
