Writer Dan Gilroy returns to deliver a phenomenal piece of cinema that he also directed. Nightcrawler is a dark look into the slimy side of news broadcasting, focusing on one individual intent on becoming a success by any means. Jake Gyllenhaal stars in his best acting role yet as we see him completely immersed into the role of an obsessed, and often troubled individual. This is by far Gilroy’s best screenplay as it is intelligently written, which accompanies the dark and gritty nature of the film perfectly. It’s fast paced and an exciting film that will both impress and infuriate.
