Immorally entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2015)

Although it's not the best film of 2014, undoubtedly it's one of the best of the year.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays the role of petty thief and scavenger Lou Bloom who barely has any sense of moral. But he is highly focused to achieve his success. After being introduced to the business of selling graphic crime videos, he makes a plan to establish his own video selling company and sets it in motion. He climbs on other people's neck to reach the top.
Gyllenhaal does a haunting performance in this film. It's actually an one man show. The story is chilling. Comic in significant amount of scenes. Cinematography was very good. Brings out the night time LA feeling.
Even if the plot doesn't interest you, Nightcrawler is worth watching for Gyllenhaal's performance.
