Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Edeltraud — 02 Nov 2014

Good premise and some worthwhile momentsscenes. A great car chase (and I don't even like car chases...this one you want to see on the big screen.).

Lou is sort of interesting for a while, but never becomes intriguing. I can't say this film is any better than the usual thriller (Seven, Basic Instinct, Disturbia, Insomnia) -- hardly a breakout out movie. Still, the subject matter was fun and certainly on point.

I saw a review that said this could be Jake's big break back to starring in movies, after a lull. (The same reviewer called him handsome...hmmm...nope.) Can't see it -- more likely, like Tony Perkins, he's such a weirdo in this he'll get pigeon-holed as a creep.
