( Jake Gyllenhaal) From Nightcrawler, Enemies, Nocturnal animals to Prisoners. Gyllenhaal is one of the better Actors of the last 20 years, but I don't think that He is given the same A-list respect of his contemporaries.

Right off the bat, I am not a JG superfan. Just an observation.

In a world where Actors and Actresses playing superheroes are getting the lions share of the accolades and attention and Leo seems to have the auteur acting game on lock. it is interesting to a leading man develop in a more subtle way, almost out of the spotlight.

I know he had a quick gig in the new spiderman movie, but Jake Gyllenhaal has been cranking out nuanced, grounded performances for the last ten years. Prisoners, nightcrawler, enemy, southpaw, end of watch, and stronger have all been fantastic films that focus on character development and story.

So upon looking at his fantastic filmography, I had to wonder, why don't we talk about Jake the same way we talk about Leonardo DiCaprio, Christain Bale, or Tom Hanks?
