Fascinating portrayal of antisocial personality. Calculation to the last detail. Incredible damage to the society. Absence of empathy will destroy any relationship or render it a prison to a captured soul. At the beginning Nina had an upper hand, but in this scene she is already in abyss and she has no clue what just happened to her completely incapable to resist. 4% in US have antisocial disorder, and yet the damage is enormous and goes under the radar undetected because the rest of us have empathy and always try to justify their unjustifiable behavior. We need to be maximally alert and at any sign of no empathy we have to run because there is no defense against these people. Our own ability to emphasize render us incapable to resist.

@8w9hf89hw The problem is that 4% are those diagnosed cases. There are many more undiagnosed ones. They never ask for help because they are perfectly fine and happy with themselves. They don't need treatment, but those who come in touch with them do. I'd estimate there are at least 10-15% cases who never cause problems sufficiently to break the law, but create a substantial damage to the society and to individuals like my ex-wife did to me. Here is the article that considers how much damage they do to us and it all goes under the rug. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/pathological-relationships/201008/60-million-people-in-the-us-negatively-affected-someone-elses?amp

@8w9hf89hw Yes, I was married to one. Of course I read your comment and apart from some incoherent rambling about toys and kids, maybe some hints about yourself, it appeared as if we are on the same page. But that's was your point to prove how it is easy to fool a neurotypical. Yes, it's easy, but it doesn't last long. The longest pretence you can make is a year research shows, after that it's too much effort for a sociopath to fake empathy which he or she doesn't have because they are zero-empathy people. I have 20 years of experience with a sociopath woman. So, you don't need to worry about me. All one needs is to read Without Consciousness, Science of Evil and Sociopath next door, to connect the dots. You strive to have an upper hand it seems, but it's mildly entertaining at best. Sure, I'm trembling already because a sociopath can find me. Bring it on.

When Donnie Darko goes dark...

Crazy

yeah, Nina. not like the LAST TIME!!

Gyllenhall is without question one of todays finest actors. Every role Jake plays, he just nails it. This performance is arguably one of his finest. His sinister, creepy 'I could kill you and I wouldn't feel a thing vibe' just permeates the screen. That's the one problem with these types of roles. The audience picks up on it virtually immediately but Nina is oblivious to it? There's a scene in the movie where Louis is telling Nina about making a list of the reasons why you'd want to get into a particular field. His robotic intensity is inappropriate to the moment and nerving to the audience, but admirable to Nina. When the movie is good enough, though, we will allow certain stretches of logic and that's certainly true here. I could do a "Gyllenhall movie marathon" some weekend and for sure it'd be a pleasure watching Mr. Gyllenhall grow into the Pantheon of todays most talented actors. :)

This was one of the best performances of the past decade. Ridiculous

"NOT LIKE THE LAST TIME."

I've read many of the comments here & while I totally agree, I believe what makes Louis Boom all the more dominant & powerful is Nina's obvious subconscious desire or even need to submit to such a strong character. I think Louis identifies this in/about Nina when he meets her & exploits her with his own selfish desires. He obviously did his research on her quite well as we see in the restaurant scene. Jake's performance as Louis exploits that angle of their relationship.

1:33 Wish I could talk that way with my clients
