A dark descent into the world of tawdry journalism...

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2016)

What an intense and gritty ride this movie is...a dark descent into the world of tawdry journalism with a stellar performance from Gyllenhaal who gives his character a calm, articulate, determined yet menacing vibe. His portrayal of this down on his luck loner, desperate to make a living is extremely convincing, a crossover between Taxi Driver and Collateral. Nightcrawler ramps up the tension until the very last minute and keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. A great follow-up to End of Watch and Prisoners for Gyllenhaal ! He proves once again that he's decidedly one of the most talented actors of his generation. Giving it a ringing endorsement.
