A captivating story

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2015)

This film tells the story of an unemployed man who makes a career on making exclusive news footage of crime scenes.
"Nightcrawler" starts off a little slow, but it quickly spirals into something gripping tale of a man who will go any length when it comes to making money. Jake Gyllenhaal plays this psychopathic character perfectly, while Renee Russo has also got an almost morbid fascination with the so called his news footage, which supplements Jake's ill character. The scene of them looking at each other over the still screen of Jake's partner on the screen is really powerful, and basically sums up the disturbed personalities in the film.
"Nightcrawler" is a very interesting film, with great characters and a captivating story. I liked it.
