Review by tillydimech

Let's start with the actor. Jake Gyllenhaal embraced the character of Louis Bloom with such a depth that not only did he make a dis- likable character the point of interest for the film but he made him very real and creepishly believable. Louis' sadistic behavior, his leering face and gaunt figure all added to the gritty vibe "Nightcrawler" offers.

As a film it is perfect from start to finish. The manner in which the story unfolds, the way it portray's the night's walks of life and the way it depicts media as the vulture's in the wreckage is all tied in brilliantly to the minutes and hours we spend following and observing Bloom. It has been created in such a way that you feel guilty or even panicked as you watch and do nothing...

Nightcrawler is one of those films that'll leave you thinking and questioning your own morality and that's a good thing. We sometimes need that.
