Acerca de esta película

Nightcrawler is a pulse-pounding 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. 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. Aided by Nina (Rene Russo), 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.

cant take this dude serious after broke back mountain im sorry. heath ledger was good as the joker but i didnt have to see his face after brokeback cowboys either...so yea just a tip never do movies that will forever haunt you and your career lol

One thought I had leaving the theater from this movie is that I shouldn't have gone to see it alone at night and that feeling right there is what you'll experience throughout. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a performance that is so good you're glad this is just a movie. A bit dark and gruesome but the director does a good job of not getting gory and uses the imagination of the viewer to put together a lot of the scenes you're glad you didn't have to see.

I found this movie to be pretty interesting given today's climate of voyeuristic news and entertainment. Jake gives a great performance as a fame and money hungry self-started who is able to make it big by being in the right place at the right time. Viewers get a glimpse of what it would take to make it in this type of field and it was pretty intense. Overall, I liked the film, but the characters seemed thin and one-dimensional so don't expect to have your mind blown by the acting.
