    No, not the one from the comics. It's about a young man who stumbles upon the underground world of freelance crime journalism.

    Pretty damn good movie. I don't think it's better than Gone Girl but man Jake Gyllenhal is a scumbag. Just a rotten piece of ****.

    Honestly am floored by how good Jake G was in this movie. Probably going to be an oscar nod and I won't be surprised if he wins it. Great overall movie, fantastic plot and the dialogue was the best I have seen in awhile some very memorable quotes to be made.
    9.2/10

    Rene Russo with a best supporting cast nominee. She was damn good.

    He low key raped her
    She did well, but i think that was a product of Jake's character more so than her, this year movie scene is markedly better than last year Bird Man, Gone Girl, Nightcrawler... can't wait for Interstellar.

    What I didn't see coming is when the assailant/suspect shot and killed his partner after that awesome ass car chase scene. I liked his character too, he was this timid and scared guy who just went along for the ride and did everything he could and all he wanted was a raise. Jake's character really is an evil sonofabitch.

    He definitely should, and probably will. He was terrific.
