Nightcrawler

Jake Gyllenhaal

Sharp, mesmerizing film with a standout performance by JG. He has graced several films recently with his abundant talents (Prisoners, Enemy) but none approaches the work he does here. A true modern monster...not the kind who wait under your bed; the one who appears on your screen delivering the nightly 'news.'

Dead-eyed, articulate, calculating, autistic? - this character bursts through moral/ethical restraints and delivers the blood and gore to willing viewers - if it bleeds it leads. Hey...it's not personal,  just business.

Creepy and unforgettable.
