7/10. Solid flick. I recommend it. The acting was strong from all involved: Gyllenhall, his sidekick, Russo, Paxton. The cinematography was very good, especially during the opening credits. Michael Mann would be proud of how sexy Gilroy painted L.A. I liked a lot of the camerawork. My major issue with the movie however was the script/presentation. In essence, it's a satire but for most of the movie it never really feels that way. It feels like JG is just some ****ed up dude but by the end, we know the movie's more than that. For this reason, it felt off to me, unlike say American Psycho which quite obviously we knew was a satire from the first few minutes.
