In terms of performance, Jake Gyllenhaal has outdone himself

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2014)

"Nightcrawler" is the story of a stubborn underdog whose sole aim in life is to succeed no matter what. Our hero, Lou, is a thief by profession until one fateful day when he stumbles upon a car crash scene. Events lead to him choosing a career in "crime-reporting". Whether he manages to reach the pinnacle of success or nosedive towards oblivion forms the rest of the story.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays Lou in this movie and he has outdone himself in terms of performance. He plays this self-centered, adamant human-being who is hungry for success, with tremendous élan. He carries the entire movie on his shoulders and the result is a masterpiece.
The movie is pretty lucid and is bound to keep the audience on the edges of their seats. As far as I am concerned, I'm gonna resume playing Grand Theft Auto after seeing this movie. Hats off to the director!!!
