Gyllenhaal plays a thief with a severe antisocial personality disorder that starts selling his own footage of accidents and violent crimes to a local Los Angeles news station. It doubles as a tightly written satirical thriller with a sadistic smirk on it's face and a deeply disturbing, yet oddly alluring, character study, very reminiscent of Taxi Driver or Breaking Bad. With it's beautifully lit LA night shots, the film reminds one of Drive or Heat but peel away that sleek aesthetic charm you have yourself some delightfully sick shit here that may or may not be funny. That's for you to judge for yourself.
