Nightcrawler review (2014)

I had heard allot of great things about this film and I have now been able too see it and I agree that it is fantastic.

The premise sees a man without a job or purpose until he becomes a crime camera man for tv and he becomes so good at it that he eventually breaks the law to get the best shot possible.

Now I had heard just how good Jake Gyllenhaal is in this film and that he basically disappears into this psychopath and he does that perfectly. This is easily his best ever performance as he is both the protagonist and the antagonist of the film and I swear if he is not nominated for an Oscar I will not understand the academy's thinking.

The supporting cast is good for the most part, renne Russo plays the tv executive that Gyllenhaal is working with and she is great in this film and their chemistry really works. Bill Paxton is in the film as a bad guy and even though he isn't in the film that much he is great in his baddy role like he always is. The only problem is with the guy who is Gyllenhaals employee is just an actor that I am not a big fan of and it doesn't change in this film.

The story of the film is fantastic and Gyllenhaals story is really good as he evolves throughout the film and his character is maybe the most interesting all year. This film also looks at the controversy of the news in this film and that is a big part of the film that is really interesting.

The script is excellent with everything that Gyllenhaal says being golden and it makes the script feels alive and fluid as the film progressed. Probably one of the best scripts of the year.

The style is also great the streets of California look beautiful and the night setting really works for this film and it is an awesome background for the film.

Overall this is a fantastic film and one of the best in 2014 also with a lead performances of the year so you should definitely see it.
