Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Horcrux2007 — 03 Apr 2015
Nightcrawler is an exciting and gritty crime-thriller movie that explores the depths of LA crime-journalism at its most gruesome. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom who films crime scenes and sells them to a local news station, while blurring the lines between observer and participant.
The movie works best as a character study of Lou, showing how he can manipulate people into helping him in this dangerous profession and the lengths he will go to sell the video to the news. It's dark, intelligent, and violent while still being able to engage and entertain the audience.
