Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Franzhcritic — 26 Mar 2017
I never got a chance to watch this when it came out, but now that I got my chance, it's an original take the crime thriller, which recently has become stale and mechanical. The main genius of the film is its protagonist.
Jake Gyllenhaal's has one of his finest performances as the unwavering, sociopathic Leo Bloom, who is determined to climb to success, willing to do anything, regardless of the ethical, moral, or legal questions they may bring up.
The script explores a whole new lens of how crime operates; not those ones who solve crimes, but those who broadcast it to us. It's intricate and like any great movie, it leaves you thinking long after you watch it.
