A lot you are gonna hate it cause of the ending, but we'll get more into that as the movie opens.

This to me was a satire on journalism mixed with a noir thriller and in Gilroy's own words "a success story".

Jake killed it. I mean I was fascinated, frightened, and disgusted by Lou Bloom all at once. I mean I can't believe I was rooting for a guy whose clearly a sociopath. But he's a product of his environment trying to survive.

Watching his ticks and little nuances gave a lot of detail into his character.

Rene, Bill, and Riz Ahmed also gave very good performances as well.

But, this movie gets in tells it's story and then gets out.

I also loved that the movie is essentially the first act of a story.
