A world of voyeuristic vultures running around recording other people's pain for profit

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2018)

Nightcrawler is an intense movie. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as the sociopathic Louis Bloom is absolutely terrifying. Most of the suspense comes from wondering just how far Bloom will go to succeed. This movie exposes a world of voyeuristic vultures running around recording other people's pain for profit. Plus, it is also a commentary on the ratings-hungry media as well as those who consume it. This is a well-crafted film.
