A Hysteric Masterpiece from Gyllenhaal

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2014)

It creatively and clearly demonstrates the life of an informal reporter who stays actively at night, thrills enough to take risk as a freelance camera crew and snapshots the first hand crimes and accidents to be the headline of the medias. The first directional debut of Dan Gilroy is surprising successful in maintaining a good pacing throughout the film and it works entirely on every level as a chilling drama, action and society commentary. Jake Gyllenhaal, undeniable has shaped himself perfectly in this intriguing, ambitious, eager, greedy yet selfish character, thanks to the good screenplay which should have no problem to get him at least an Oscar nomination. With the eerie scores from James Newton Howard and diverting from the usual plot line, this hysteric masterpiece defines and admires the dark nature of the society, the evil nature of the human - to be selflessness on humanity in order to define success in one's life.
