Demolition Review: Jake Gyllenhaal Can't Save Insufferable Drama

Plenty of films can be summed up as “rich white people problems”, but directorJean-Marc Vallée’s quirky dramaDemolitionis one of the more glib offenders. WhileJake Gyllenhaalhas been on a streak lately of shining in complex, diverse roles, even an impressive leading turn from the actor can’t overcome an intensely miscalculated screenplay and cloying plot twists that result in a frustrating, confounding “redemptive story” with little redemption to be found. InDemolition, Gyllenhaal plays Davis Mitchell, a successful investment banker whose wife Julia (Heather Lind) suddenly dies in a car accident, leaving him in an extended state of shock....

That almost certainly worked as a starting pistol for DC fans to hit the comment section but there’s simply no way for me to see the legitimacy in the counter-argument to that. WhereCaptain America: Civil Warwas strikingly well directed, funny, and thrilling in its bigger fight and chase sequences,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewas weighed down by its portentous nods to heady subject matter that essentially served as window dressing for a joyless and boring spectacle....
