Groundbreaking classic " I'd like to think if you're seeing me you're having the worst day of your life. "
Nightcrawler has this groundbreaking narrative that becomes more and more intoxicating as we progress. It gets downright disturbing at times, it's a very enthralling storyline. This film also features a solid score, exceptional cinematography, and the acting is superb. Especially Jake Gyllenhaal who gives an unconsciously brilliant performance as Louis Bloom, a aspiring crime journalist in California who is on full tilt willing to do anything to achieve his goals, he's a manipulative sociopath. Menacingly intelligent is another way to describe Jake as he descends into his madness.
" The true price of success is what somebody's willing to pay for it. "
We also get a great supporting cast with Riz Ahmed, Rene Russo, & The Late Great Bill Paxton. The unsettling fact of the matter is how accurately this caricature of a crime journalist may describe people in that industry in the real world, probably more often than not. It goes to show you should never mess with the natural order of things. The absolutely thrilling climax is equally gut renching, Jake is a utter maniac. This film has some of the strongest rewatch-ability out there.
" I'd never ask you to do anything i wouldn't do myself. "
