"Nightcrawler"
Spoilers Ahead
This week I will be reviewing "Nightcrawler"
The story follows Lou Bloom(Jake Gyllenhaal) a petty thief in Los Angeles, he struggles to find work and resorts to stealing metal from constructions sites and selling it off. He tries to seek work at one of the construction sites but is rejected. On his way home Lou sees a car crash, he pulls over. Stringers (freelance photojournalists) arrive at the scene and begin recording and taking photos. Joe Lodder one of the stringers tells Lou that they sell their footage to local news stations. Spurred Lou steals and bike and uses it to acquire a police radio scanner and a cam corder. Lou attempts to get crime scenes to record but fails. Lou then records the aftermath of a fatal car jacking and sells it to a local news station. He meets the morning news director Nina Romina (Rene Russo). She tells Lou about their interest in footage like what recorded, violent and bloody footage. Lou hires an assistant, Rick a man desperate for work and money. Lou begins to tamper with accidents and crimes to make them more appealing for his footage even moving dead bodies.
Jake Gyllenhaal played Lou Bloom disturbingly well his character was a single minded, relentless perfectionist, his role was truly what made this movie for me, his acting was flawless. "Nightcrawler" is a dark and exciting thriller movie, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dark movie.
