The movie is actually two movies. You’ll know when it becomes the second movie. And you probably won’t like it.
Robert Downey Jr is brilliant. Beyond brilliant.
Jake Gyllanhall is anonymous. He is, however, featured in the second half of the movie. Still, nothing visceral about him.
The second half of the movie has you looking at your watch.
Has the same atmosphere as the film “All the President’s Men”
No one does fake hair better than Anthony Edwards Jr.Overall Grade: B-

Summary:

- slow but intriguing, unfolds with immense tension
- it's more intelligent than most people want
- it's inconclusive
- Robert Downey Jr. is great in it
- Jake Gyllenhaal plays himself
- it's a LONG movie, but honestly, I wasn't bored
- and yes, Anthony Edwards look even younger than he was on ER with his wig
