Notes et avis

Jake Gyllenhall gives the performance of his career as a, and believe me, there's no other way to put it, a creepy little wierdo obsessed with filming (mostly brutal road traffic accidents). The movie is slow and brooding and sets you up for an unexpected and shocking finale. This movie is incredible, so good that I watched it twice in two nights.

In a year of great movies this was best of the year. Gylenhall gave the performance of his career as a video journalist chasing car crashes and big stories. If you want to be entertained and have to give a bit of thought to what you're watching then this is the perfect movie.

A "great" portrait of sociopathy in the workplace. The ending fitted the real life advancement that these individuals make, often going on to command great power in influential positions.
