If you loved Taxi Driver..you're gonna LOVE this film

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2015)

Initially I wasn't expecting much from this film. Naively I thought perhaps that this was another installment from the X-Men franchise (i.e. Nightcrawler) But I was pleasantly surprised. Nightcrawler is the kind of film that draws you in. Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo, both superb actors in their own right were amazing. But in addition you have other stellar performances from the likes of Bill Paxton and Riz Ahmed. If you loved the "quiet psychosis" of Deniros' Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, well you're going to love what Gyllenhaal does with this performance. The character of Louis Bloom gives off both mystery and fear, and although the movie has some slow moments ..I couldn't look away. I recommend this film if you're in the mood for a little "strange". You will not be disappointed.
