Nightcrawler Presents American Dream And American Greed

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2015)

Lou Bloom was definitely one unforgettable nightcrawler for he is ambitious and driven person that also possess disturbing qualities such as being a sick and twisted individual.Jake Gyllenhaal stars by portraying him in this film by Dan Gilroy that provides an insight on the news media particularly freelance journalism as well as the nocturnal life at the streets of Los Angeles.
Lou was a former thief who is seeking to look for employment.One day,he decides to work as a free lance journalist by taking footage of crime scenes and accidents that happens at nights in Los Angeles and sells them to Nina,a morning news director of a local news network.
Gyllenhaal did a fantastic performance of the creepy character Lou.We definitely could see how realistic he is in portraying an individual who will do anything in life to become successful no matter how immoral and evil it is.Added to that,we also get to see how news media tries to sell crime stories on TV for ratings and profit's sake instead of showing compassion for crime victims and accidents.It provides the viewer the effects of capitalism in news stories and local news network.Overall,it tries to paint a picture of both the American dream and American greed.
