Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Keanex — 05 Oct 2020

Jake Gyllenhaal acts his ass of in this. He plays a creepy sociopathic role so incredibly well that I would have felt weird being on set with him during the filming of this. Nightcrawler shows the progression of a weird and determined person into a conniving monster who uses his power to get exactly what he wants.

This movie is tense and exciting, following Jake Gyllenhaal and Riz Ahmed as they patrol the night streets looking for gruesome scenes to sell to the news. The slimey workings of the news, and the lack of boundaries for Jake Gyllenhaal make the two a perfect pair.
