Sociopathy... the easy way to triumph in life

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2014)

How many times have we been witnesses of such an effective feature film debut from a director and truly amazing like this one that gives us Dan Gilroy, who without having a high budget and not any more than 8 million manages to reach with genius this big movie with iconic scenes that will remain remembered in the history of cinema and also with one of the year's best character.
One of the personages of the year because that is what Lou Bloom really is, a twisted and cruel sociopath. A very thin Jake Gyllenhaal with bulging eyes that makes you feel uncomfortable, Gyllenhaal's body isn't characterized for being thin like in this movie, also a few slightly tidy eyebrows and a chillingly believable personality. A really hungry coyote as the same Gilroy baptized it.
Gyllenhaal does the performance of his career and that manages to open all histrionic talent that were waiting for a complicated and horrifying role like this one.
Louis Bloom is a person, whose only motivation is going out forward in work, and until there, there isn't a problem. But when the ambition and the aspiration come to the limit and even exceed it, negative things start coming. Lou Bloom as intelligent as malignant and with a highly high aptitude of persuasion and leadership he would do almost everything for having an employment to feel auto sufficient. The problem is that for him it will never be sufficient at all.
One night after going out of "working" he comes across with a recent accident on a freeway of LA, he is a witness of how a group of "nightcrawlers" comes to the scene where the facts will be transmitted for television. Henceforth, Bloom's life will give a tremendous draft that he will have to appeal to different things only for coming to his final target.
Dan Gilroy surprises us with a dark and cruel, very quite thought- provoking and intelligent movie. That consists in a very appropriate music selected who accompanies the entirely film in a splendid form. Also a very good job with a solid script also works of Gilroy, who was responsible along with his own brother Tony of the script of "The Bourne Legacy" (2012). While the movie is getting closer to the end, the things will becoming more and more uncertain and the failure will be increasing , and then it will be necessary to experiment with a few scenes that were leave in shock the spectator.
In conclusion: Jake Gyllenhaal show us all his talent and there has the nomination almost insured to the Oscars in leading role actor, It is not to devalue the work of Riz Ahmed and Rene Russo with two very quite successful roles, honorable mention for both. Highly recommended movie. And remember this, when the movie ends, you will want more Lou Bloom, one of the biggest anti-heroes of last years.
