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.
