Best of the Year??

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2016)

This could be the best movie of the year, and Jake Gyllenhaal definitely had the best individual performance of the year. Nightcrawler is a dark, entertaining thriller about a man that pretty much forces his way into journalism. Once he starts seeing success, he becomes obsessed with being successful.
Jake Gyllenhaal has no equal this year in acting. He does a phenomenal job getting into this role and portraying this character. He has no limits as he searches for the best results for his job. The rest of the cast is OK, but no one else really stands out. There is Gyllenhaal, then a bunch of supporting roles.
The development of Louis Bloom (Gyllenhaal) really makes this movie great. He moves from being a petty thief to an extreme criminal to fulfill his obsession. The story is dark, with a terrifying feel throughout the movie. This is a thriller in every sense of the word!
Make sure you see this immediately. Gyllenhaal had a performance of a lifetime, and the story is dark and suspenseful. Definitely worth a watch; 9/10
