I just didn't get it


I thought Jake Gyllenhal did well in his part and played it really well but I just didn't find the movie interesting or very good.

I was riveted by the freakiness of his character and felt like he single handily made the movie.

Odd opinion since the movie relied 100% on his performance.

I thought it was good

I don't believe it is realistic or an honest reflection of that industry. I could be wrong, but I would guess not.

No images or scenes that will stick with me. I fricking hate rotten tomatoes. It was built up too much

Watched it last night. I liked it but I found it a little far fetched.

I didn't love it, but I was glad I went. The relationship with the news station manager was not hinted at all in the previews, and I love that. I also really liked the house crime scene part. And the end was a nice turn. It was a solid movie, but I have no desire to see it again really.

I'll say this: If Nightcrawler didn't keep you on the edge of your seat, nothing will. Easily one of the year's best IMO. Can't wait to watch it again.

I had the same exact feeling as you. Thought Gyllenhall did a great job acting but the storyline itself sucked

I thought the movie was badass and Jake Gyllenhaal was a straight up gangsta in that movie.

I liked it a lot but I have a thing for social satires. Very similar to Network in that regard.

Just watched it and I thought it was a GREAT movie. Loved it honestly

It's like a faster paced, manic version of Drive, with a little grand theft auto thrown in

Gyllenhall is incredible, and the tension was top notch

It's one of the better new releases on Netflix right now though. I thought it was alright.

One of the big points of the movie was to show that emotionless, low-life shitheads are what drives up news network ratings. You may have your favorite network or favorite reporter or TV host, but in the end, it's a bunch of sleazy people doing whatever they can to catch the most ratings in order to make money.

Jake was brilliant. The plot was a little far-fetched, but it was effective in getting the message across.
