Intriguing, unnerving and haunting.

Nightcrawler, on its surface, is a relatively straightforward thriller, built around a slightly improbable but very effective main character, a man who starts as an antihero and plunges straight ahead toward villainy.
September 26, 2016 | Full Review… -
Like an alternate version of Network in which Faye Dunaway cannibalizes the conscientious William Holden character, Nightcrawler cleverly dispenses with any debate about the tyranny of ratings and the erosion of privacy.

Make no mistake, Nightcrawler is a major work for everyone involved.
January 4, 2015 | Rating: A | Full Review… -
Filmmaker Gilroy, brother to Tony (of the darkly marvellous Michael Clayton), makes every cinematic second count. If you blink you miss a tell-tale reaction shot, a vital visual plot clue, or a brilliant cut-in.

A gritty urban comedy noir, a scathing, Network-worthy disembowelment of television newsgatherers that will leave you craving a shower.

Aug 19, 2017I quite liked this very dark thriller. Very creepy guy and a scary look at the media.Nicki M Super Reviewer

Aug 07, 2017Jake Gyllenhaal is a force to be reckoned with, he takes crazy to a new level. The story is a lot more interesting, although it could have been shot better. It is a daunting subject matter, that will have you continue to think after it is over.Jarrin R Super Reviewer

Feb 17, 2017Some will try to confine this blazing hot social commentary to the realm of media news, but that is shortsightedness to a high degree in the dawn of the internet saturation age. Kudos to all involved. I hope there were Academy Awards, particularly to the director, screenwriters, actor and actress. Zounds, what a ride!Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Nov 16, 2016Gyllenhaal is terrifying as night time crime camera man. He takes the film through a slower middle part, but overall the movie always works: as acid social commentary on media and lack of empathy. The atmosphere of the hot LA nights is almost physically perceptible and the solution after a really thrilling final act is bone chilling.Jens S Super Reviewer
Nightcrawler Quotes
| Nina: | The best and clearest way that I can phrase it to you, Lou, to capture the spirit of what we air, is think of our newscast as a screaming woman running down the street with her throat cut. |
| Lou Bloom: | What if I were to say that it's not that I don't understand people, but that I don't like them? |
| Lou Bloom: | If you want to win the lottery, first you have to make the money to buy a ticket. |
| Lou Bloom: | That's my job, that's what I do. I'd like to think if you're seeing me you're having the worst day of your life |
