S picked out Nightcrawler at the library one day while he was waiting for me to get off work. I didn't really know what we were getting into, but it looked like an action film of sorts from the cover.It is not an action film.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays Lou, a "night crawler" who listens to the police scanner then goes zooming off to crime scenes as a freelance videographer hoping for juicy footage he can sell for top dollar to the local news stations.
What makes the movie interesting isn't Lou's line of work or the stuff he sees; it's he super creepy ability to manipulate everyone he comes into contact with.
Bottom line: this is not a happy movie, but if you're in the mood for disturbing (and who isn't, really?), it's good for that.
