Nightcrawler - 7.5/10 (RIYL: American Psycho, Ace in the Hole, Collateral) A classic Gyllenhaal, really: pretty good, but not quite great. Gyllenhaal himself is excellent, a compelling performance as a really interesting character. The story itself is fine and some of the set pieces are excellent (the last one in particular is edge of your seat stuff). However, some of the reporter characters feel like caricatures. They're just unbelievable cynical shits, to the point where it was difficult not to feel they were laying it on a bit thick. It felt a bit heavy-handed, as did some of the themes about current Western economies. Very much worth seeing though, I hope Gyllenhaal gets a few nods come award season. |
