Night-Out Thriller

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2015)

One thing that kept me watching this film was Jake's performance as Lou Bloom. Jake has this knack of choosing these really different films to act - Donnie Darko, Brokeback mt.,Jarhead,End of watch,Prisoners and this fine film. Nightcrawler(not to be mistaken with the x-men)tells the story of this psychotic man who loves shooting videos of accidents,crimes and finds some kind of pleasure in getting the job done and he's really proud of it. He's uneducated and yet spends hours together tutoring himself on being "the right guy for the job". The film is beautifully shot showing much of the night life of L.A. This film is every bit of a thriller, it keeps you engaged throughout and makes you wonder if a man like Lou Bloom really existed. I could have given it a full rating but this story lacked few characters p.s - Rene Russo still looks gorgeous !!
