Outstanding characterization

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2015)

Maybe the scrip didn't pleased reporters or journalists but the acting job of Jake Gillenhaal was outstanding and deserve the nomination for best actor. His interpretation of this psycopath that is what his character was, is one of the best acting work of all times. He really capture the essence of the character and his best achievement was to transmit this to the viewers. You can get, watching him in this role, the same sensation that you got when you saw Heath Ledger playing Joker. The fear, the anxiousness the denial to know that are people like then, so sick and bad that you really forget for a while that this is not a crime report in the news but just a movie. It is a shame that the Academy did not select him as one of who deserve the Oscar.
