Gyllenhaal is fantastic in this

Just watched this. Just thought I'd echo the sentiment that it was pretty outstanding. Great performances by Gyllenhaal and Jackman.

Between this and End of Watch, 2nd year in a row Gyllenhaal has impressed in an underrated film.

Movie was very good. Hugh Jackman killed it, did a great job getting away from his Wolverine persona. Kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.



spoilers....






























When JG visited that lady who watched the video every day of her son that went missing, the first thought that came into my head was "that's Alex!". Anyone else pick up on this overly obvious hint? Just seemed way too random to not play a major part in the overall plot.

Despite what others have said about JG, I thought his performance was dry and lackluster.

Spoilers... And really not trying to be an a-hole just my honest opinion.










I was pretty excited to watch this and even convinced my friends to give it a shot with me.... Huge mistake. It was bad IMO. No depth to the story other than "the war against God" which was only sprinkled in once or twice. There was no backstory to the killings or anything that would explain the mazes in the book relating to the kidnappings. Obviously I hated it and was embarrassed for suggesting it.

didn't really know much about this movie, but gave it a shot at Red Box and it was pretty awesome.

I am a JG fan though, that's the only reason I even noticed it.

I haven't looked through this entire thread, on purpose, but I'm watching that movie now. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it.


This show is intense. I've already teared up a few times.

Gyllenhaal and Jackman are impressive to say the least.
