“Demolition”: Jake’s Best Yet?
In spite of reviews like that of Variety, I can’t work up much enthusiasm for this picture: ‘In order to make sense of his life, a white-collar widower decides he has to tear it all down in “Demolition,†dismantling appliances, smashing furniture and even going so far as to bulldoze his own house in search of a catharsis that never comes.’ Variety goes on to say the movie features Jake’s best performance since “Brokeback Mountain.”
