My word. That Gyllenhaal fella can act, can't he?

Nightcrawler gives us a sociopath for our age. The age of media gluttony, fear mongering and wanton narcissism. Mr. Bloom can join ranks with and stand tall next to many other legendary screen psychos and look them dead in the eyes. With those horrific, empty unblinking eyes.

When Nightcrawler began and the opening act started to take shape I thought it would head in the direction of a dark satire. But every time Gilroy's camera served back to Bloom's freakishly intelligent and clinical gaze everything just felt too real to be a satire. A satire criticizes society and Nightcrawler doesn't really do that. It shows us an element of society as…

Jake G, channels his inner Travis Bickle, and gives the performance of his career as Lou Bloom, a shady tabloid journalist, obsessed with capturing the perfect shot in Dan Gilroy's electrifying directorial debut. Choo choo trains are boss. The first time you see Jake G's shit eating grin. I want to wear Jake G's jacket. Bill Paxton is one of the greatest actors alive.

In Japan, the chonmage fell out of common use, consigning itself to the province of sumo practitioners. But in the West, the…

Nightcrawler is dark, gritty, disturbing...yet at the same time, it can be sort of motivating and make you want to go after want you want in life...your passions, your dreams.

As I’ve seen this film several times, I knew a good portion of the film took place in a vehicle; and I’m currently going into Pre-Production on a film that also takes place for the most part in a vehicle, so I wanted to see what the visual approach to this film was. Just like the story, has multiple twists and turns and not really knowing if you should like the main character’s choices, the Cinematography is just as bipolar. 

Dan Gilroy (Director) and Robert Elswit (Cinematographer) created a very…
