Really dark film but highly entertaining. Jake crushes it.

Great acting from Gyllenhall, Russo, Ahmed and Paxton--who plays a reporter on the way up, then brutally on the way down--and some terrific car chases make a very entertaining movie. No, you do not want to meet Louis Bloom, the closest…

Terrifying. Lou has no regard for anyone but himself.

Jake Gyllenhaal is not a great fit as the Louis Bloom character.

One of Jake Gyllenhaal's best performances. You see how he wants a shot at redemption, but he constantly gets rejected to the point where when he eventually gets it, he falls into desperation. He falls into scandals and corruption, because…

The main character speaks fast, intelligently and in a quiet manner but has the balls of a bull, really outrageous speed and desire for success at any cost. A dark movie in more ways than one.

Lou Bloom is one of the creepiest characters to come along in a while. Excellent movie.

95/85 on an aggregator. Numerous award nominations, only one win (19th San Diego Film Critics Society). I suspect most found Louis unsympathetic. A shot of him watering a houseplant was felt necessary to dial that back a bit. As much as…

Nightcrawler is a fantastically uncomfortable movie. It follows a person obsessed with success at whatever cost who becomes obsessed with filming violent content for a local news agency. The cast all deliver fantastic performances,…

Very dark. It reminded me of Network (1976), but grittier and far more downmarket. Not even a mansion can raise a sordid-looking Los Angeles above a morass of graphic crime and accidents. A petty criminal finds his niche and his passion…

Excellent. A dark film. JG was great in it

Saw it twice on blu-ray or DVD, the second time probably within weeks of first viewing. Dear lord. Will see again. And again. I don't want to say any more. Except abot that scene between Russo and Gyllenhaal in the restaurant. Who's in…

This is a very good movie. You follow a character named Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal),a down on his luck criminal who attempts making a career out of being a "nightcrawler". The film uses its soundtrack and cinematography to its fullest…

Not much here except a dismal story about horrible people.

Gyllenhaal’s performance as the creepy, sociopathic videographer of blood and violence in LA makes this otherwise average movie quite riveting. He’s intelligent, learns quickly, and games the TV news system to his advantage. Like those who…

This movie is about a hungry journalist, Jake Gyllenhaal, who feeds on footage taken place at night. He then purses a career as cameraman, armed with a camcorder and police scanner. He then scavenges the night hours in hopes to catch…

The guy is a creep! REALLY A CREEP! UCK!
May 10, 2017therhiannamater rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed the heck out of this movie. I've never really scene Jake Gyllenhaal in anything this dark before and it lead me to the inevitable conclusion that he's in the modern day master class of acting. The story is a slow burn of suspense…

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can't believe I sat through it waiting for it to implode. If you're a diehard Jake Gyllenhaal fan, well, he does a masterful job playing a manipulative pathological looney you hate immediately.…

Pretty good movie!
Feb 21, 2017Jalenridge rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
Thought provoking film. Disturbing but engrossing. Jake Gyllenhaal's character may be a creepy sociopath, but as is suggested in the "bonus feature", in some ways he represents many of his age who are caught between their online lives and…

An egocentric, morally-repugnant main character with absolutely no empathy for other people. And it gets worse from there. Agh, need brain bleach now.

Better than I expected; way better than most crap coming out of Hollywood. Surprised me more than usual, so I won't give anything away.

This is a great movie that touches the way on how news are selected and constructed to be shocking and sell air time that way. Jake Gyllenhaal, is absolutely amazing, I do not recognize him, so creepy that at the end of the movie I felt…

A fantastic, original premise and excellent lead performance are alone enough to make this film worth watching; unfortunately, a misguided resolution does not capitalize on the momentum and thrills of the story.
