Nightcrawler is an excellent 2014 thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo, about a freelance journalist out to make a name for himself, at any cost.

I have been present several times to see how journos work. At a free-time activity I was in, a woman from the radio tried to pressure me and others one by one to say something gory that she could use. When I was a kid in school a woman from the newspaper used a quote that made a kid look silly at a school event. A journo swooped down on a teenage couple sitting on a park bench and asked them questions, then quoted the girl as "giggling" and "swooning" in his story about teen summer love. A journo at the train station gave extremely biased info about restaurant owners before asking people if they agreed with a proposed leftist measure to clamp down on them, gathering this as statistics. A journo wrote a story about "innocent tenant harassed by ruthless landlord" EVEN AFTER he had heard the truth about this horrible tenant. He agreed to leave out the landlord's name as his concession to the truth. And across Europe, whenever left-wing extremists have attacked people protesting mass immigration, the media write about "violence at racist rally".

While I love this movie on its own, I think it really shines as a companion piece to American Psycho, since it's really interesting to compare/contrast how the movies approach similar set-ups, protagonists, and cultural critiques through completely different tones. Contrast to Bateman, who gets completely ignored even when he outright tells people he's evil, nobody in Nightcrawler is really fooled by Lou's facade, they just misinterpret the danger signs as him being socially awkward or desperate. I also like how the plot is basically a dark version of the stereotypical "American success story", where a guy who's down on his luck is able to pull himself up with a little bit of ingenuity and relying on the right people to eventually have his own successful business. Of course, his ingenuity usually manifests as him doing something illegal or sociopathically detached, and his connections are usually cemented with manipulation or blackmail.

This movie is a reminder of the classic news adage: IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS.

I think this movie and "Enemy" are some of Jake Gyllenhaals best performance he's ever turned in.

This is one of the few films my Mrs reluctantly dragged me along to the cinerma for that I ended up pre-ordering before release and paying full price for the DVD.

I think Nightcrawler and Annihilation are the only two movies from after the 2000s that I'll happily watch again and again the way I'll do for seasoned classics.

Jake G is a fucking legend. Strangers, Nightcrawler and Zodiac stand out for me.

Love this movie, great performance by Gyllenhaal. It's right up there with 'Taxi Driver' Amazing that it's close to 10 years old now, such a different and better time 2014 was.

One of my favourite kale gyllenaal performances for me was the guilty where he is an emergency responder who takes phone calls, but it’s literally just him in the entire movie and surprisingly really works

I found this movie randomly on Netflix years ago and I’ve told soooo many people to watch it, I’ve loved Gyllenhaal ever since.

I swear, hand to God, that the character Jake Gyllenhaal plays is fashioned after my older brother. Similarities are sooo numerous. Fantastic film.
