Nightcrawler

For someone who's not a huge fan of thrillers, action and murder films like me, I would have to say that Nightcrawler is one of those that I can certainly watch again and recommend. 

Full of twisted humor, excellent performances and hard realities, this is one of those films that not only entertain you all along, but also give you a pretty interesting perspective of the fucked up values of our society. Values that are so up side down that turn people into such soulless and ruthless beings whose idea of success is only fueled by the need of money and fame. 


Besides its originality and very well paced intensity, I would recommend watching this film because of Jake Gyllenhaal's excellent and different performance. This is a freaky-weirdo-crazy Jake Gyllenhaal we have never seen before. Not only he lost more than 15 pounds for the role, but he finally came out of his typical good guy/hero/perfect gay boyfriend role. 

This is certainly not an artistic masterpiece, but it's one pretty entertaining and original indie thriller for those who like a little stress and wickedness in the big screen. 

Here's the trailer:
