One of his best

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2015)

Jake Gyllenhaal gives a gem of a performance. Nightcrawler is a great movie set in Los Angeles which is great to see the urban landscape of this historic city. Featuring some of my favorite actors like Bill Paxton and Rene Russo, this movie takes shape following a young, obviously driven deranged man with no one stopping him from getting what he wants, to be the boss. He finds that filming tragedy, news, you can sell this for profit. The bigger the scoop = bigger the check. I thought Jake did bring a good sense of what he wanted this character to be like, a recluse, little sociopathic, and definitely crazy. The director did good at delivering this film from basically Jake's characters view point. Overall this is a definite must watch for any fan of Gyllenhaal's or Los Angeles.
