Ambition has no limits

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2015)

I had no idea what a nightcrawler was before I saw this movie. Jake Gyllenhaal gave us a brilliant performance as the nightcrawler Louis Bloom, a sociopath with a lack of empathy, only driven by his ambition to gain his own moment in the spotlight. His growing ambition to succeed in life has no boundaries, he has no morals to pursue his fame and career. Rene Russo as the station manager Nina Romina will also do whatever is necessary for her career to survive and to have a big audience for a news channel. I thought the story was really good and kept me interested during the whole movie. The filming, the dialogs and the actions scenes were also excellent. Certainly one of the better movies I watched lately.
