What is all the fuss about?

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2015)

I heard absolutely glowing reviews of 'Nightcrawler'. Critics raved about it. Friends recommended it. But one question remains: what is all the fuss about? Nightcrawler is a decent movie. But there were some scenes - and sequences for that matter - that dragged, and Jake Gyllenhaal's character was creepy, unlikable and surprisingly underdeveloped.
Arguably, what prevented me from giving this movie a generous 6 is that the movie culminated in an adrenaline-filled, high-octane chase sequence at the end. It got me quite giddy, and provoking this type of emotional response is more often than not indicative of a good thriller.
It's such a shame that it ended so vaguely and the plot was a bit weak. For example, a great plot movement could have been if Gyllenhaal's character started MAKING the news and then filming it. That would have been more interesting.
Anyway, this is my opinion. I went into this movie with high expectations, which is always dangerous, and I was disappointed. Nevertheless I'm glad I watched it, I've definitely seen worse.
