Storyline

Davis (Jake Gyllenhaal), a successful investment banker, struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. Despite pressure from his father-in-law, Phil (Chris Cooper), to pull it together, Davis continues to unravel. What starts as a complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters revealing startling personal admissions. Davis' letters catch the attention of customer service rep, Karen (Naomi Watts), and, amidst emotional and financial burdens of her own, the two form an unlikely connection. With the help of Karen and her son Chris (Judah Lewis), Davis starts to rebuild, beginning with the demolition of the life he once knew. Written by Fox Searchlight

Breaks then builds itself back up again only to break again
1 November 2015 | by (Toronto) – See all my reviews

Neither inherently comedic nor as captivating as 'Nightcrawler,' with less depth and suspense as 'Enemy,' 'Demolition' doesn't hold up to Gyllenhaal's previous efforts. Regardless, even in playing a more traditional character, the actor fully committed to the role over the film's mere 30-day shoot. The drama is weakened by the comedy and the comedy is weakened by the drama, and the whole tone is made more confusing as a result, but in a handful of scenes the terrific cast is able to click with each other as well as the competing tones. Strengthened by an energetic pace and score in addition to engaging superimposed reflections in a series of frames, 'Demolition,' with it's thought-provoking script and committed cast still manages to craft one of the most intricate insights into the inner insurgency of contemporary purpose and strife.
