Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
stangya sorensa Terrible! He's not blue and he doesn't teleport! Nooot the X-Men spin-off I was expecting.
elizabethdawson-78805 Nightcrawler is a tense, dark and deeply cynical movie about a man who videotapes roadside accidents and sells them to a local news station- but this is just the gist of it. The film becomes uncomfortable at times and the entire mood is somber and nihilistic. Featuring a fantastic turn by Jake Gyllenhaal who continues to prove he is one of the finest actors of this generation and ably supported by Rene Russo and Riz Ahmed Nightcrawler is too cynical to appeal to mainstream audiences. However, if you want a compelling character study then this Dan Gilroy (his first film as a director) film is a must watch.
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
josepainumkal 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.
