News? Storytelling? Or entertainment?

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2016)

From the very beginning we understand that Lou has no moral standards. He sees what he wants and he doesn't let go of his prey no matter what it takes. From mugging the guard's watch to manipulating the scene of crime so that he gets a juicy angle. He says all his beliefs with so much conviction that it gives you the chills. This film reminds me of the tragic murder of the news anchor Alison Parker where the shooter posted the whole killing on twitter and face book in the US in summer 2015.
Night-crawler is a wake up call to how much manipulation there is in today's social media and the worst thing of all is how much the public is hungry for it, the more brutal the better.
