WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Nightcrawler (2014)' is a dark thriller with an excellent sense of tone, with occasional black humour serving mostly to emphasis the bleakness of its central arc. This beautifully shot feature is a fantastic look into the mind of a sociopath, with the transformation from protagonist to arguably antagonist being constantly engaging and essentially unique. It's this downward spiral and the charisma of the character that keep you in your seat, though the news-based narrative is remarkably riveting in its own right. It's a wonderfully assured - and, frankly, ballsy - character study. 8/10

michiostermann Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Prisoners and many others. Jake Gyllenhall is fore sure one of the best actors of his generation. He already showed us his talent frequently. But as the psycho Louis Bloom he was just impressive. In every second he puts this charakter his stamp on. I would even go that far to say, Bloom is one of the best antiheroes i have ever seen. I'm looking forward to Gyllenhall's future projects. If he can keep this level rudimentary, the academy has no other chance to honor this man. Also sensational was the directing debut from Dan Gilroy. The tight production, the interesting design of LA as well as the pleasant music were a very good combination. I'm curious what we will see from this man in the future. Confessedly the tension of this story from the sensationalism and a guy who knows to exploit that is limited after the time, but this movie makes the best of it and achieves to watch this film more times. It is rare to give a movie more than 7 points, but a great Gyllenhall and the good complete work made it possible.

ttttony-18640 I didn't mind the run time and character build up. Jake G captured the nuances of a sociopath very well down to the awkward social interactions with Nina from the news network. The dynamics between Lou and Rick (two main characters) kept me interested to find out what would happen. Overall, a decent storyline regardless of how realistic it may/may not be.

rensvanloenhout I went into this movie thinking it was about a normal guy filming things at night. I was surprised by how the main character acted and overall pretty impressed by the movie. I can recommend this movie because it has a lot of tension and suspense which makes the movie really entertaining to watch.
