Nightcrawler is a pulse-pounding thriller set in the nocturnal underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling—where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars. Aided by Nina (Rene Russo), a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.

John Flickinger

Indulge in the enigmatic charm of Gyllenhaal portraying an oddly likable sociopath, coupled with dark humor and a riveting yet straightforward plot. Nightcrawler isn't just a movie; it's a gift you give yourself, with a runtime that flies by.

Although I was able to put aside my knowledge that nothing occurring in this film would happen in reality, there are moments in the film where I was pulled out of it...

It’s such a creepy, tense, and efficient crime/psychological thriller.

Beneath Nightcrawler’s outward critique of the media’s desperate need to see and record human atrocity for mass ratings, there’s a more disturbing character study about Gyllenhaal’s fascinating and fantastically played psychopath.

Nightcrawler is simply one of the best crime films of the 2010s.
