Really good movie, Gyllenhaal is so creepy

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2014)

Nightcrawler is an intense thriller set in the nocturnal of Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal lead this movie with a tremendous solo effort, to create, to be honest the quite creepy character of Lou Bloom. Bloom, is rock bottom but is driven and will do anything to break into the world of high speed crime journalism. Bloom approaches Nina (Rene Russo) who is a station manager of one of the lowest rated stations and has a similar desire to Bloom. In this motion picture we see the cut throat and ruthless world of night crawling and what is stake to these freelance cameramen.
Nightcrawlers capture intimate and exposed shots of crime and accidents, they race to capture this before the emergency services can move the scene away from the incident. Jake Gyllenhaal is brilliant, Bloom is genuinely one of the most manipulative characters i've seen in a while, he knows what he wants and he will do anything to get it. Gyllenhaal captures this so well, with a cold detached ruthlessness which fits the job so well. Gyllenhaal is top class.
Dan Gilroy and cinematographer Robert Elswit create a unique way of seeing some truly ugly human events in such a clear and and astounding way, the cinematography and production is really something. This a tough watch, the movie contains morally challenging content as we see the inner workings of journalism and how they can potential manipulate or hold information to bring an angle or anticipation to a story. This movie will have you on the edge of your seat with some some great scenes to look out for, people question the ending of it but i think that the ending finishes in a fitting way to relate to the movie, a great movie.
