Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Drlowdon — 25 Dec 2020
Lou Bloom is a determined man desperate for work, and one night he runs into a freelance news crew who film everything from car crashes to murder scenes to sell to the highest bidder. Wanting a piece of the action he enters the cut-throat world of ‘nightcrawling’.
With an excellent lead performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler is a tense and darkly humorous thriller that highlights the lengths the news media will go to just to secure ratings, and with events over the last few years it has only become more relevant since its initial release.
