Rating: 8.5/10The film is a masterfully crafted and deeply unsettling exploration of ambition, desperation, and the media's relationship with tragedy.The Good:• Sharp and relevant narrative with a phenomenal central performance • Atmospheric direction and cinematography capturing the dark underbelly of Los Angeles • Exceptional casting with morally complex characters • Thought-provoking themes of ambition, ethics, and media sensationalismThe Not So Good:• Unflinching portrayal of Lou's amorality and the exploitative nature of the news industry can be challenging for some viewers • Lou's lack of empathy and manipulative behavior might alienate some viewersThe Verdict: Nightcrawler is a chilling and unforgettable film that burrows under your skin. With its taut pacing, atmospheric visuals, and morally ambiguous characters, it's a truly unsettling yet captivating cinematic experience. Highly recommended for fans of dark, character-driven thrillers.
