Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Elly P — 16 Feb 2016

I don't even know where to begin. I guess chilling would be the best world to describe this movie. Especially since I am in the film industry and know a thing or two about news broadcasting. First reacting to this movie I had an instant hate for Lou, which can probably be attributing to the acting. He is always five steps ahead and willing to do literally anything to get where he wants to be or how he wants the people around him to react. He is like a puppet master and everyone in the world is his puppets. He can probably very easily be categorized as a psychopath, but that's what makes the movie engaging. He goes the extra mile and always takes things too far. It leaves the audience on the edge of their seats. They hate him, but they want to see how the crime and his footage turns out. It's a very eerie movie and it leaves the viewer feeling on edge and skeptical about the media they consume, but I would highly recommend this movie for anyone in the mood for a thriller.
