Movie Review 1: Nightcrawler

First of all, I bet none of you guys have ever seen this movie. The reason I think so because when I walked into the movie theatre there was no one there, just my dad and I.


This movie is a psychological thriller so it is pretty exciting and scary.

He got very angry to find out that his rival got the news footage faster than him..

Synopsis

An ambitious young crime journalist probes the dark underbelly of L.A. in this cynical urban drama that marks the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Dan Gilroy (Real Steal, The Bourne Legacy). Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhall) is a petty thief in search of a payday when he stumbles onto the scene of a grisly car accident, and witnesses seasoned "Nightcrawler" Joe Loder (Bill Paxton) gathering video footage for a local news broadcast. Convinced that this is a career he could excel at, Lou promptly purchases a police scanner and a cheap video camera, and hits the streets. In short order Lou has hired an assistant (Riz Ahmed) to help him navigate the city streets, and started selling footage to local TV producer Nina (Rene Russo), one of Joe's regular buyers. As fast learner with an eye for detail, Lou isn't above manipulating a crime scene in order to get a picture that tells a story. When Lou beats the police to the scenes of a deadly home invasion in an affluent neighborhood, however, his shocking footage catches the attention of two homicide detectives who suspect he's hiding evidence that could be crucial to their investigation. Meanwhile, that footage may be just what Lou needs to enter the big time. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Educational value:
 The ugly side of human nature. People are willing to cross the line in order to get what they want... 

What I learned from this movie: 
Being a bad guy can be pretty rewarding. But don't you try to copy the bad guys... 

Did I enjoy it?
 Yes. yes I do. This movie will keep you on your toes as Lou keeps finding news to film and his assistant makes him kinda mad.

Would I recommend it? If you wanna see a thrilling yet full of story movie. This is it. They are blood and gore though.

Wow factor: There is a twist in the end so I gotta say WOW.

Score: 8/10

If the movie is so great, why no one is seeing it?
 This movie ain't your blockbuster Hollywood Transformers yo. It's a low budget movie with limited publicity but it doesn't mean it's no good. It's actually very good!
