Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Larissa K — 09 Sep 2018

A blend of pup fiction starring jake gylenhall with a career defining, magnetic performance nightcrawler is a gritty yet extraordinarily satirical neo noir that outlines the moral boundaries of media broadcasting whilst portraying a fantastic character study and descent into villainy.

However, this anti-hero falls short of relatable and comes across as a knock off of taxi driver's travis bickle, failing to resonate with the audience. nevertheless remains a stylish and unnerving thriller, choreographed and shot beautifully with an effective ending acting as a ironic metaphor for the success of business mindedness over morality.
