Jake G. excels in playing another Darko character!

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2014)

Night Crawler, Night Crawler, Jake knows how to do it. OK, sorry for the very Saturday night feverish intro in my film review of Writer- Director Dan Gilroy's "Nightcrawler". The movie stars the aforementioned Jake, as in Gyllenhaal, as the mentally disturbed and obsessed Louis Bloom. Louie Louie is unemployed and looking for work until he stumbles into a roadside accident and notices independent freelance videographers who shoot tape of nocturnal news events and sell them to the local television stations; otherwise known as nightcrawling. Bloom then blooms into a more disturbed individual when he runs with this concept and decides to become a nightcrawler himself. Gilroy shoots "Nightcrawler" with a subjective eye prioritizing on Bloom's narcissistic demeanor. Gyllenhaal does some of his finest work in his career as Bloom. Other eye-catching performances were derived from Rene Russo playing a sensationalistic-seeking TV news director, and Riz Ahmed playing Louis' gullible nightcrawling assistant. So slam your footage I mean foot to the pedal, and investigate "Nightcrawler". **** Good
