Lou Bloom is your monster in the mirror

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2014)

A masterpiece in acting and subject matter. Spoilers: Clearly, Jake Gyllenhaal will win 2014's best actor for his portrayal of Lou Bloom. This is a 9/10 horror-thriller with THE best "intelligent-masked-escalating-creepster" male-lead portrayal since those done by Anthony Perkins (Psycho), Robert DeNiro (Travis Bickle), Ed Norton (Primal Fear), and Christian Bale (Patrick Bateman). And what Lou Bloom does, and maybe for whom, makes you look in the mirror. We lucky viewers just got two of the best thought-provoking thrillers of the decade, (Gone Girl and Nightcrawler), all in one year! No sex (YAY!), and no "gratuitous" violence (YAY!). And easy 9/10. I was shaking when I left the theater!
