NIGHTCRAWLER is a 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 L.A. crime journalism. 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. Aided by Rene Russo as Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story. Open Road Films
Insider’s tip: Tense and unsettling, NIGHTCRAWLER is an exciting thriller whose main character is not at all likeable. Whereas GONE GIRL explored the wild misconceptions and dangerous influence of the media, NIGHTCRAWLER explores an even more corrupted facet of that entity’s nature: its shameless capitalizing on the public’s obsession with crime television. Brilliantly acted, darkly comedic, and highly acclaimed by audience and critics, NIGHTCRAWLER delivers razor-sharp satire.
