Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Mike D'angelo for AV Club — 30 Oct 2014
Nightcrawler is a portrait of an amoral opportunist who stumbles upon his horrible calling, and the film’s chief pleasure is watching Gyllenhaal portray what it might be like if Rushmore’s Max Fischer grew up to become Chuck Tatum, the unscrupulous reporter played by Kirk Douglas in Billy Wilder’s scabrous Ace In The Hole.
It’s adolescent solipsism gone grotesquely rancid.
