Jake Gyllenhaal has been dazzling our screens for just over 30 years and is unquestionably an underestimated and multi-talented force in the film industry. Like many others in the field, he has both the necessary connections and attractiveness to reach where he wants to go. Jake has effectively used this stepping stone to construct his own next steps to prominence despite the fact that his father was a director and his mother was a producer/screenwriter. He has acted in some of the more frightening dramas of the new age of cinema, taking on a wide variety of parts during the many years of his career.
Here are the best movies by Jake Gyllenhaal:
Nightcrawler 2014
This movie explores and questions the ethics and integrity of contemporary journalism in addition to being a spectacular and creative story.
Brokeback mountain 2005
Jake Gyllenhaal wowed fans with his acting in Brokeback Mountain, his most audacious and risk-taking role to date. Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger play two cowboys who develop great affection for each other in a time and place where doing so could very well get you murdered in this beautiful and depressing story from imaginative director Ang Lee.
Prisoners 2013
Prisoners is a slow-burning mystery thriller that aptly depicts the various viewpoints affected by child abduction. It is the first of the truly emotional and intense movies on our list today. Detective Loki, played by Gyllenhaal, is charged with locating two young girls who have mysteriously and unexpectedly vanished.
Spider-Man: Far From Home 2019
It would be surprising to see our favorite star in Spider-Man: Far From Home, a continuation of the Marvel universe. Gyllenhaal plays Mysterio, the deceitful illusionist who opposes Spider-Man and who, if you haven’t read any of the comics, turns out to not be a very nice person.
End of watch 2012
End of Watch appears to be another cop movie but offers more in this fast-paced action thriller. Two buddies and young Los Angeles police officers, Officer Brian Taylor (Jake) and Officer Mike Zavala (Michael Pea) stumble across an unpleasant raid. This documentary-style handheld tracking shot movie gets powerful and moving when it has to.
