Nightcrawler

I found this jewel of a movie in the 'recommended for you' list on Netflix. It's great thing I can tell you that because it paired me up with a movie that I really enjoyed. Nightcrawler was a crazy but enjoyable ride from beginning to end. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Louis "Lou" Bloom who began the movie as an unemployed man who decides to take his turn in being a cameraman, who specializes in late night crime shots.

Things took a little while to get interesting but it was well worth the wait. What drew me in to this movie was the quirky attitude and strange positive vibe that Lou always had about every situation. It was weirdly satisfying. His speech was well developed and he could word his words so well that he even hired an intern for his, at the time, non-existent business. His eyes were always so large and he was so dedicated to his work and it was a beautiful thing until those things started to turn badly. But it all depended on how you define bad things because Louis seemed perfectly fine with everything and that's what made his character and the actions of his character so great and interesting to watch.
