Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (14 April 2015)

Jake Gyllenhaal delivered one hell of a performance in this one. I loved him in Zodiac and was drawn to Nightcrawler when I saw he was the main character. With that being said, from about 3/4 of the way through to the end, I was let down. I had thought Jake would face some sort of investigation from the authorities and that his character would start to become part of the crimes (committing them or assisting) in order to create more of a story to sell. The writers and directors had a huge opportunity to take that path and turn a good movie into an awesome movie. I gave it 4 stars, which may be a bit harsh, but I really had my hopes up when I saw the trailer for this. I bought the DVD and I am notorious for watching movies multiple times. I can honestly say this one will sit in my collection for a good while before I pick it up again.
