Nightcrawler is a powerful but creepy & weird film
What: Movie Review
Who: Nightcrawler
When: November 2014
Where: Great Northern Mall
While the Hunger Games: Mockingjay is heating things up the
past week or so in movieland, there is another movie that shouldn’t go by
without notice: Jake Gyllenhaal’s new film, Nightcrawler.
It’s easy to see why this film may have gone unnoticed by
the general public. The first most obvious reason being no advertisement for
it. However, Nightcrawler could easily pass by as one of 2014’s most powerful
films, despite its intense weird & creepy feelings that go deeper as the
film progresses.
The film centers on Jake Gyllenhaal’s character, who is a
night time film camera guy in Los Angeles. Jack Gyllenhaal delivers one of the
best performances of his career, and he captures you within the first ten
minutes of the movie that never gets bored or tiresome. In fact, the film is
just the opposite-sleek, thrilling and gravely dark, Nightcrawler is a film
that’s by far not for children, but offers a realistic glimpse of today’s night
life in Los Angeles. The general tone of the movie fits in with the character its based on, and some of the other actors in the film do a decent job adding their weight as well.
It’s one of the better films of 2014 and movie goers that
are looking for something beyond your average holiday block buster won’t be disappointed.
