Nightcrawler is a devilishly stylish thriller. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a troubled man who films crime scenes and sells footage to news stations. The idea is novel and the execution is superb. Jake Gyllenhaal keeps you on the edge of your seat, guessing what conniving thing he'll do next. He's a fast talker with a unique outlook on life, which he voices often. He says his lines straight faced, deadpan in all seriousness, even when the words coming out of his mouth are twisted. Most of the action takes place at night, and the darkness amidst the lights of Los Angeles adds to the noir feel and atmosphere.
