After packing on the pounds in Southpaw and climbing a mountain in Everest, Jake Gyllenhaal isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
In his new film Demolition, Gyllenhaal plays a successful investment banker coming to terms with both the death of his wife in a car accident and the realisation that perhaps he never really knew her at all.
"I wasn't paying attention," Gyllenhaal's character, Davis, writes in a complaint letter to a vending machine company, an act which becomes a process of personal catharsis.
As Davis begins to rebuild his life, he begins to demolish the person he once was, with the help of the vending machine company's customer service rep, Karen (Naomi Watts) and her son (Judah Lewis).
Demolition is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, who directed the Oscar-winning movie Dallas Buyer's Club and the critically acclaimed Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon.
