Nightcrawler Vs. Taxi Driver

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2015)

The Performance by Jake Gyllenhaal is amazing..on par with; Robert DeNiro (Taxi Driver) Perkins ( Psycho) Bale ( American Psycho ) Fassbender (Shame) Every aspect of his performance is nearly perfect.. The scenes with his employee are; funny, sad, creepy ..And, so well acted ..Riz Ahmed goes toe to toe with Gyllenhaal, which is not an easy feat .. Casting was spot on ! Pacing was great.. Cinematography was a visual delight.. The Performance by Gyllenhaal is so effective you feel as if it's someone you passed on the street and, or had a casual conversation with, saying to yourself that was weird ..Wonder what that person does for a living , how do they live ? Rene Russo does a great job.. made a bit difficult by the scenes with Gyllenhall ..He is so captivating; you lose sight of Russo.. When not paired with Mr. Gyllenhaal , she is excellent. Film stayed with me for weeks .. Only issue I had was the ending ..Think it could have been different.. wasn't bad just seemed a bit commercial ?
