Review:
Demolition was definitely a surprise. The film is one that isn't for everyone and really, you sort of need a certain twist to truly enjoy and appreciate the message being sent throughout the film. At first it really seems awkward, but by the end of the film, Demolition leaves you with a very profound life lesson.
Of course, all of this is behind the awesome performance of Jake Gyllenhaal who has become one of my favorite acting talents. The dude was absolutely fantastic in this film in the role of "Davis".
All in all, if you want to watch an interesting movie about living truthfully - honestly, then this is your film. Give it a whirl, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Grade: 3.75/ 5
