An Oscar nominee for Jack

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2015)

After doing some pretty naive and adventurous roles such as sweet baby face Prince o f Percia in which I would for surely want to date him, marry him and put on a show for him every day when he comes from work, Jack Gyllehaal has made a fascinating transformation in Nightcrawler which reminded me of what Jack Nicholson succeeded to achieve in ˝The Shining˝and or what sir. Anthony Hopkins succeeded in ˝The silence of the lambs˝. Mr. Gyllenhaal captures the viewer and pulls him into the world of a psychopath- where there are no emotions, no rules and no restrains and refrains except the ones that the individual makes for himself and everything is the other way around- the world should obey your set of rules and the opposite. It is, for most people, a strange and unknown world which is hard to demonstrate to a normal person. Mr. Gyllenhaal has achieved to make this world more near and familiar to us and what is frightening is that those kind of flawed personalities exist in our world and moreover they are successful individuals or at least some of them are. In contrast to the sweet prince of Persia I wouldn't date the nightcrawler, his physical appearance and facial expressions, mimic and gesticulation gave me the chills. Very good movie which confirms that film still is the seventh art and not just bland form of entertainment for wider public.
