Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Tvjerry — 02 Nov 2014
The title refers to camera crews who troll the dark hours, listening for police calls and rushing to bloody crime scenes in hopes of selling their footage to TV stations. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a fast-talking, self-confident new entrant into the field, who's determination for success crosses the line between objective observer and dangerous participant.
His character is a smart, but not saavy charmer without a conscience and Gyllenhaal makes him fascinating with masterful skill. The film is disturbing and ultimately, suspenseful as we watch him get deeper into success.
