A totally unique storyline with another great role for Jake Gyllenhaal, brings into perspective what goes on behind the scenes of our daily news and what it takes to gain access!

Nightcrawler is the story of Lewis Goldberg, who finds that his true calling is in Freelance photography. The story that follows shows the true grittiness and cutthroat nature of the job, all shown threw the eyes of Lewis, played by the impeccable Jake Gylennhall, who gives one of the greatest performances these eyes have ever seen. He is fascinating and creepy as this loner who is very apathetic towards other humans, and thus has no problem doing certain things, such as moving a dead body, to get the best shot possible to sell to the local news station. This is a difficult role to tackle, and Gylennhall does it with ease. He lost a lot of weight for this movie, and he looks so ghastly, almost supernatural. The best performances are the ones where the actor completely disappears into the role, and Gylennhall does this with flying colors. But the script is also extremely exhilarating. Not once was there a dull moment in the move. It's all extremely intriguing. An absolute must-see.

I watched this movie with zero expectation. But when I finished the watching, it became one of my favorite movies. The movie shows the race between news channels and how bad they go to sensationalize news for ratings. I warn you may find the actions of the protagonist disgusting if you couldn't tolerate a hero with a dark side. The movie is engaging and makes you stick to the seat tight till the very end. I would categorize this film as a "NOT MISS" movie among the thrillers.

It's scary in a very real sense, it's about boundaries, crossing the line, like when did news become entertainment. How often do we see news reports that are nothing more than opinions because they don't have enough or any facts to report. It has moments of humour, our anti hero is trying to live the American dream based on some online business course. Problem being he treats life & everyone as a business deal, some of which is very funny. But then it raises the question have we forgotten morality and decency in a pursuit of wealth. Sometimes reviews work, I only watched this whilst searching through and found a highly rated film by viewers.
