An interesting, and thought provoking movie

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2014)

"Nightcrawler" deserves the high praise its getting from critics. I really did like the movie. But couldn't help but feel a bit let-down by the eventual outcome of this dark tail.
Flick sees a creepy loner (Jake Gyllenhaal) searching for something he's good at. When sneaky stealing proves to be the wrong thing. He discovers filming crashes, and destructive news events and selling them to news stations is more up his street. Showing us a disturbing underground career that probably exists somewhere in the shadows of real life. With Gyllenhaal playing a kind of self serving creep that is probably more likely to exist.
"Nightcrawler" is an interesting, and thought provoking movie that is probably better with the awesome Gyllenhaal at the helm. Giving it everything he's got. Reminding us why he's the king of these dark, unique movies. This one is a very original one, unfortunately cut off short by an abrupt ending, when it could of gotten epic. I was sitting there thinking "Aw this is going to be one of those 3 hour long movies isn't it?" But not in a bad way. I wanted to see where it went. But it just left me a little disappointed there wasn't more to come when it felt like it stopped telling this story about half way through.
