Before watching Nightcrawler i knew very little about what the film was going to entail and the characters that would be explored. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance is sensational and his ability to keep the watcher on the edge of their seat throughout the film's entirety is nothing short of remarkable. Gyllenhaal really is the key to this film's success and his portrayal of the sociopathic Lou Bloom is utterly believable. The story itself is very interesting to follow and contains a number of high tension sequences. If anything, the only reason this film loses points is that the story doesn't match Gyllenhaal's level of excellence but overall this film is definitely worth a watch.
