NIGHTCRAWLER is a thriller set in the nocturnal underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling - where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents. Aided by Rene Russo as Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.
Leave your thoughts about Nightcrawler.
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansAs its title implies, writer-director Dan Gilroy's L.A. noir drama Nightcrawler will get under your skin with its profile of a go-getter whose ambition and amorality know no bounds. |
| SlateDana StevensNightcrawler, like its entrepreneurial-to-a-fault protagonist, is ambitious but ultimately hollow, eager to dazzle and shock us but reluctant to let us inside. |
| The MercuryTim MartainNightcrawler paints a pretty grim picture of modern society and the logical outcome of our collective insatiable thirst for information, bigger shocks and faster delivery. |
| Film InternationalMatthew Sorrento[F]eaturing one who lurks at night to gather crime footage for broadcast, the film parodies the obsession (with taking images) and notes it to be a tragedy of our times. |
| CinemaDopeGlenn Lovell... the best Martin Scorsese movie not directed by Scorsese. It's that good, that assured ... that unshakable ... Scores as both urban thriller and 'Network'-like comment on the media. |
| Movie TalkJason BestPart scathing media satire, part scorching crime thriller. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThis is a classic film, not just because every scene and line is casually beautiful and devoid of extraneous touches, but because its tone is mercilessly exact. |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaJake Gyllenhaal is focused, intense and terrifying. |
| Radio TimesDamon WiseThe nightmares that Bloom is selling are immaterial; what terrifies more is the cut-throat corporate culture that so willingly pays him - and pats him on the back. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneAnders WrightGyllenhaal may well earn himself at least an Oscar nomination for the role, but credit must go to veteran screenwriter and first-time director Dan Gilroy, who has created a wholly unique and absolutely disturbing vision. |
