Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling, where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents A pulse-pounding thriller set in the nocturnal underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of LA crime journalism. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder, and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cutthroat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling, where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents When a psychopathic man realizes that he could become famous by filming crime scenes, his attempts to make the news become progressively more and more disturbing "A smart, engaged film powered by an altogether remarkable performance by Jake Gyllenhaal..."--Los Angeles Times "It's a 21st-century takedown of the media's pandering 'if it bleeds, it leads' ethos and the ghoulish nightcrawlers who live by it."--Entertainment Weekly "True to its title , creeps under the viewer's skin much like the predatory title character, who restlessly cruises through this modern-day media allegory..."--Washington Post |
