: Jake Gyllenhaal lost significant weight to achieve a gaunt, predatory look for the role of Lou Bloom. His portrayal of a man who views human tragedy only as "footage" is unsettlingly realistic.
However, Bloom is not a journalist. He is a hyper-articulate, sociopathic capitalist. He manipulates crime scenes, sabotages his rivals, and eventually orchestrates violence to create better news. The film is a scathing critique of the "Gig Economy" – the idea that you must do whatever it takes to succeed. nightcrawler 2014 hindienglish 720pbluray best
