Nick Beaty (70 KP) rated Nightcrawler (2014) in Movies
Dec 14, 2019 (Updated Dec 15, 2019)
Nightcrawler is a very good movie with a strong commanding lead performance by Jake Gyllenhaal. His portrayal of Louis Bloom is slick, manipulative and at times borderline psychotic.
Louis Bloom is a loner desperately looking for work. That is until he hears there is money to be made from shooting crime & accident scenes for L.A. news stations. He starts off small time but as the film unfolds he shows he is willing to do anything to reach the very top of this certain profession.
His Character is incredibly unlikable from the very first scene but Gyllenhaal plays the part so well that you can't take your eyes off the screen, no matter how much you will want to at times.
There are a few scenes that may upset people but I think it is more a statement that in today's news, people will go to any lengths to get that top story.
In summary Nightcrawler is a very entertaining movie, which keeps grabbing your attention and holding you firmly there when it's got you, with intense, nervous, even excited energy... Definitely worth a watch.
