Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Nightcrawler is a brilliantly-crafted Neo-noir that has a lingering effect long after the end credits. The film was deservedly nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Rating: 4/5 --
Gyllenhaal's Lou Bloom may not have visible fangs, but he'd give any movie monster an authentic run for their money.

Cinema Siren
Rating: 4/5 --
Gyllenhaal is Nightcrawler's battery; his creation, cooked from the greasy rinds of Jordan Belfort et al., saturates every frame with a queasy intensity.

One Room With A View
3.5 stars out of 4 -- This is a deliciously twisted piece of work. And Gyllenhaal, coiled and ready to spring, is scarily brilliant.
Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] ghoulish satire that trawls the dark corners and neon-soaked streets of LA....Gaunt and bug-eyed, Jake Gyllenhaal excels...
Total Film
NIGHTCRAWLER keeps NETWORK's battle cry alive. It's a 21st-century takedown of the media's pandering ''if it bleeds, it leads'' ethos and the ghoulish nightcrawlers who live by it. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
NIGHTCRAWLER is well worth seeing just for Gyllenhaal’s spectacularly creepy performance. -- Grade: B

Product Description:
An ambitious young crime journalist probes the dark underbelly of L.A. in this cynical urban drama that marks the feature directorial debut of film writer Dan Gilroy (REAL STEAL, THE BOURNE LEGACY). Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a petty thief in search of a payday when he stumbles onto the scene of a grisly car accident, and witnesses seasoned "Nightcrawler" Joe Loder (Bill Paxton) gathering video footage for a local news broadcast. Convinced that this is a career he could excel at, Lou promptly purchases a police scanner and a cheap video camera, and hits the streets. In short order Lou has hired an assistant (Riz Ahmed) to help him navigate the city streets, and started selling footage to local TV producer Nina (Rene Russo), one of Joe's regular buyers. A fast learner with an eye for detail, Lou isn't above manipulating a crime scene in order to get a picture that tells a story. When Lou beats the police to the scene of a deadly home invasion in an affluent neighborhood, however, his shocking footage catches the attention of two homicide detectives who suspect he's hiding evidence that could be crucial to their investigation. But that very footage may be just what Lou needs to enter the big time.
