Review of Nightcrawler (2014) by Jacob — 13 Mar 2015

If you can get past how disturbing Louis is Nightcrawler is a good film. This is not just a thriller and Rear Window ripoff but a nice commentary on the media and violence, which is explored through the disturbing and intriguing Louis Bloom.

Jake Gyllenhall does a great job in the role providing a character that is both revolting in his obsession with violence and media as well as his detachment from it but is also intruging with his passion and obsession.

I won’t blame you if you find this movie revolting as it is messed up but for me I could and was entertained by this film.
