I'll start saying that I haven't been in LA at that time and I didn't read the novel, so my impressions are of someone just watching the movie.
I was moved by Robert Downey Jr. Performance, it definitely raised this movie above what it was on its own.
The very ending really bothered me though, it felt silly, unrealistic and forced. It was quite disappointing and I felt like it ruined the story. I could see what happened coming it's only that how it happens is just stupid and a bit ridiculous.
Still, I enjoyed the movie, it kept me interested throughout and again, Downey's performance was heart breaking.
