Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Analogkid280 — 04 Nov 2014
Well this is Jake Gyllenhaal's acting baby and he does a great job. I think that he should get an Oscar nomination for creating a new narcissistic creepy negotiator but not win the award. That character I found extremely interesting for the first quarter of this movie and as the film goes on it grew increasingly predictable.
Most the supporting cast are cookie cutter characters and add little other than to give the lead something to push against. The people following up on his tail are about as qualified as some keystone cops.
Most of all I must apologize because I just was not buying it. The whole thing. the suspension of belief for this film just left me in the dust. I am not even in the law enforcement or news industries and I can tell you this guy would not be walking the streets if this had anything to do with any kind of reality.
The police scanners he uses were out of date back in the 1980's. The whole movie might of made a good Law And Order episode. Unfortunately it is stretched out to a full length film.
