Jake Gyllenhaal -"Nightcrawler" ..:whew:

[Figaro]

Agreed with the run that Gyllenhaal is having currently, even Love & Other Drugs was a decent watch for what it was.

Mind fukking bytches in Rom-Com's



Jake: You need me

Anne: No i don't

Jake: YES YOU DO!

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

even better upon second viewing

being a sociopath can be an evolutionary benefit, he is successful because of his lack of empathy and emotion. he gets what he wants through logic, knowledge and manipulation

i feel like the score could've been so much better for this film

a little over the top but it was a decent watch

I've been reading this sentiment around the net, some people really dislike it while others think its "bad" on purpose. Personally I didn't really notice it

Yeah, I don't think it's bad, I just think its relatively non existent but those night-time LA drive around scenes are perfect opportunity to have a dope soundtrack. I'm not saying to copy Drive but its music combined with the driving scenes are

Good flick. My dude Lou was grimey as fukk, did what he had to do to eat out here. Movie made me realize how dog eat dog it really is out here.

 

[observe]

Movie wasn't that good

 

[Zombi_Jeezus]

Just saw this flik on showbox. Very dope film. That home invasion scene had me like when they showed the crib. Jake Gyllenhaal put on such a good performance I didn't even mind that he wasn't blue. The only thing I didn't understand was if he could teleport why did he need a partner or even a car?

Certain aspects were definitely too over the top, but I think that would have been cleaned up with a different ending.

How I would have ended it:

Spoiler

During the final chase scene, instead of Bloom getting out first and getting his partner killed, it should have been the other way around. A reap what you sew sort of deal, with that kid filming him dying and taking it to the news director to sell. Thought that would have been a MUCH more fitting ending.

 

[NobodyReally]

Jake just got a SAG & Golden Globe nom for this role. But it looks like the film isn't getting much award love.

 

[Fury616]

Just saw this...good movie. The entire movie was an analogy for the world of cutthroat business.

Jake: So how about will you hire me?

Construction boss: Foh, I don't hire fukking thieves

Jake:

dude was creepy as fukk.

 

[Fury616]

This movie was really great.

SPOILER ALERT:
I can't believe people are complaining about the ending, it was great. If you notice throughout the movie he literally takes what he wants. It starts with the wristwatch, but it progresses into more things as time goes on. I felt like this movie was a nod to corporate culture, he literally takes out the competition, makes unsavory business deals, backstabbing colleagues etc. Just being grimy to get ahead.
.

Didn't read thru the entire thread but yep...exact same thing I was thinking.

 

[wire28]

Jake really came thru on this one. It's a real game changer for him and I hope he gets that Oscar nom.

shoulda got it for Prisoners.

 

[Jazzy B.]

It was good but at the same time disappointing. Felt like they cut 30-40 minutes(which the film needed) towards the end and threw in a rushed/abrupt ending that came off very flat. Jake was good and looked coked out as fukk .The way Lou shut down Rene Russo's character at the restaurant and newsroom was.
