Jake really is a TREMENDOUS actor.
If he could get the right role, he could win an oscar.
sharei dunno about an oscar, but i never really cared for gyllenhal, godddamn if he did not bring the noise here...he played the part perfectly....very good movie, gritty, realistic, both actors brought their a game and the unscripted stuff worked very well.
it is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it
