Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Fishersam — 03 Dec 2014
Wow..... Just.... Wow.. I watch a lot of movies. This movie is by far the best movie I have seen this year and is certainly in my all-time top 10 list. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was masterful.
I've seen the trailer for this movie several times and couldn't quite figure out what it was about or if I would care to watch it. After watching the movie, I understand how it could be difficult to create an attractive trailer for this movie. The film goes against the grain. It doesn't follow the standard movie blueprint and breaks many unwritten rules of movies. It is unforgiving and gritty. I recommend anyone who enjoys films to watch this one. Anyone who gives this movie negative feedback is probably a troll, a hater of Jake Gyllenhaal, or someone who can't grasp the concept of a film that isn't similar to another film they saw last week.
As another reviewer mentioned, Nightcrawler is modern achievement. Hopefully Hollywood will take note and cease this conveyor belt of sub par films.
Wow.
