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.

The scene where he, (Jake Gyllenhaal) is sitting at dinner with the show manager, laying his demands down and being at his all-time creepiest is my most treasured scene. To me, the way in which he portrays himself throughout the entire movie is at a level that I can only describe as brilliant. I couldn't take my eyes off him through the whole movie. When acting is this good, you wonder how these guys prep for this kind of role. Highly recommended!

From start to finish this movie grabs your attention. With every transition your curiosity grows as the depth of Lou's insanity becomes more realized. You almost don't want him to do what he ends up doing but your satisfied once he does. Jake Gyllenhaal pulls his character off perfectly. So muvh so that you wont even mind how well the other characters convince you of their roles. This is an instant classic in my book.

This was a really good movie. It is not nearly as well known as it should be. Very much enjoyed this movie. I really am not into writing reviews. I rarely ever do it. I think there are three kinds of people who write reviews: 1) People who really like to sit in their chairs and play armchair quarterback all night long on the Internet to make themselves feel better about the failures happening in their own lives. They love TV shows like Dr. Phil b/c they get to see people failing. 2) The second kind of person who writes reviews just feels like their voice isn't heard by people in their life, so they spend an unhealthy amount of time writing reviews across the board. 3) The last type of person is the type of person who genuinely feels motivated on a very rare occasion to write a review b/c they have been moved in some way or another - good or bad. I am that third person. I say this so you know that I am not some troll who gives a million reviews, and just sprays praise all over the place.
