The title desdribes it best

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2019)

This movie is made purely to shock the viewer with a depiction how bad someone can be.
There is no redeaming quality or like ability about this snakelike blood sucking parisite of a human being.
Making a living off filming the misery of others.
The lead character is a lowlife despicable looser hell bent on surviving with little regard for human life in general. He developes a sarcastic anti social personality interwoven with a twisted distorted business ethic in a quest to photo video capture breaking news.
Seeking a way of success he picks up a camera and begins filming tragic events of others misfortune and selling his twisted concept of photo journalism to a News reporting business struggling for ratings.
He is a bug eyed vampirical snakelike character very well acted and depicted in the filming.
The camera effects are incredible in both action and character depiction especially when hes making demands of his news company client, showing his hungry seathing venomous dark dead eyes.
Louis Bloom brilliantly played by Jake Gyllenhaal is a delusional ruthless video journalist that will stop at nothing to get it on film including manipulating crime or accident scenes for the best possible footage including causing events to happen by with holding informaton.
There is no hero in this movie there are only victims and bad people closely portrayed.
This movie leaves you shaking your head at this anti hero hoping he would get shot or run over or somehow justice would be served by his demise.
Fearing his only assistant will reveal to the authorities his devious immoral illegal actions, while filming a horrific series of events that began with a police shootout and ended in a violent car chase all orcastrated by Louis Bloom, his assistant is killed in the process by placing him in the line of danger only adding to the exploitable violence and drama.
When questioned by authorities smug calculated attitude only irrates you further.
The ending shows him going on to success expanding his company to would be clones of internes.
If you want to watch a movie of a rotten human being.
With your moral compass steaming you'll walk away from the movie thinking what a piece of crap this guy is.
Very well portrayed acting very well. Plenty of action great filming effects.
