Absolutely baffled by the good reviews

Rating: 1/10 (28 August 2015)

Look, I love Jake as much or more than the next guy - Nightcrawler was one of the best films ever - but this film is Insanely Boring. The entire story is a foregone conclusion. Every preview showed his wife getting shot so it's not a spoiler, so the only way this story develops or is interesting is what happens next. And what happens next is literally EXACTLY what you know is going to happen from the moment she's shot - from before you even stepped into the theater. Literally NOTHING happens that is remotely interesting or surprising. Complete waste of time, I have just no clue why I watched this movie. I ended up fast-forwarding the last ten minutes because why do I want to see a fake movie fight when I already know who wins? YAWN. BORING. Why on Earth do you people like this so much???
