This movie completely took me be surprise by how good it was. I don't find to many movies that seem to want to have a comment about our news media as this film does. It does a great job of infiltrating this world and showing an interesting side of new broadcasting:they buying of self shot vidoes. Everyone did a great job of making this movie good: spot on direction, production, screenplay, and acting.
Gyllenhaal has had sort of a revival in his movie career over the last year or so with the movies Prisoners, Enemy, End of Watch, and this movie. I mean each of those movies have been some of the better films I've seen with each character being different. There's not a lot repetition happening in there and Gyllenhaal has stepped up to the plate and done some really good acting. His character in this movie is basically an unlikable, dishonest, and selfish character but yet Gyllenhaal and the writers do make him somewhat sympathetic. I'm not saying he's always sympathetic but I always knew what his motivation was throughout even when he ended up doing something I might not have liked. I understood why he was doing it. They also made him a completely interesting character as he started navigating the media/news empire he gets involved with.
All in all go out and watch this film.
