it almost seems like there should be more

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2015)

The movie keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. Even though the dialog sometimes seems wordy and goes nowhere, eventually the action heats up again and your thrown into the mess of the night crawler world.
The writer and director, Dan Gilroy, obviously had no one to do a little snipping on the dialog. Gilroy's is probably also responsible for slow parts of Real Steel and The Bourne Legacy, but he can do action scenes better then most.
Despite the name of the movie sounding like a b rated horror flick, it is not bloody or horrific at all, but it is suspenseful in the extreme.
The premise is the cherry picking of violent events to increase viewer-ship, which leads to the rights of the fourth estate vs police needs.
However, the ending seems like a cop out to the whole premise of the movie. I'd like to see a night crawler II where Lou, the character of Gyllenhaal, gets tangled up in his web of deceit, but have someone edit the dialog.
