mark g Should have won Oscar, best picture of 2014. Stylish, topical, gripping. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Fer S Good movie, not great. The ending was kind of disappointing. It does feature a short but great car chase scene. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Jay N Absolutely no idea why this film is so well regarded. Unbelievable storyline, no real drama development of any of the supporting characters and a weak ending. Jake has turned into a repetitive, 2 dimensional actor who pulls the same acting chops in every film, this is a perfect example of that. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Zackary T One of the most convincing portrayals of pure unadulterated psychopathy ever captured in a feature film. This is One of the greatest films of the 21st century Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review George B Dan Gilroy's thriller "Nightcrawler" is about an amature cameraman who decides to start a small business; he is incredibly deciduous, manipulating, and exploding. This film is shot by PTA's cinematographer Robert Elswit; the cinematography is incredibly eeri. It's a film about obsession and lonleyness and would play as a perfect double feature to a film like Taxi Driver. Summary: Lou Bloom is portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal, and even though he is the protagonist, you find yourself not wanting to root for him. He goes from Job to Job, but eventually runs into a camera crew shooting a car crash. When he meets the lead TV cameraman (Bill Paxton), he then buys a police radio and goes around filming house fires and murders, trying to find the highest bidder. This is when he meets the news director, Nina (played by René Russo). She takes what he has to avoid getting fired; she speaks Nicole about Lou and feels a slight connection with him. She does not really notice how crazy he is until he threatens her later on in the movie. Nightcrawler is a neon-lit descent into the abyss of modern ambitio, a neo-noir that is incredibly unsettling. This is one of those movies that you wait until the studo logos at the end just because you have no idea what you just watched. Jake Gyllenhalls Lou Bloom plays the ultimate antihero, sort of like Travis Bickle; he is incredibly charismatic and dynamically driven. Dan's direction is incredible, and the editing is amazing and just so smooth. There are some good capitalism themes as well. Lou's journey from a petty theif to a manipulative news reporter is both horrifying and disturbing. Every frame of this movie is increibly thrilling, and you sit there wondering what he will do next. The soundtrack is also incredible; James Newton's retro/pop is the perfect backdrop to the film. Overall Nightcrawler is a thrilling, twisted, well editied, acted and directed film, that I would deffinatly consider giving a rewatch somtime. 9.6/10. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Lanso A Por mais que você pense o quão irreal isto é para a nossa realidade... o enredo do filme, em certos pontos, faz com que você pense "oh, isso possivelmente aconteceria". Entretanto, o filme deixe de lado demais a figura de "detetive justiceira" e foca o quão fissurado o personagem principal fica por "notícias quentes", capaz de fazer coisas de certa forma duvidosas, podemos dizer... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
