Entertainment Reviews:
NIGHTCRAWLER keeps NETWORK's battle cry alive. It's a 21st-century takedown of the media's pandering ''if it bleeds, it leads'' ethos and the ghoulish nightcrawlers who live by it. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/5 --
The aphorisms scattered throughout the film allude to a larger truth. Sadly, the film's inability to empower these feeble social stabs with any authenticity or depth of investigation leaves events feeling flat and forgettable.

CineVue
It's a good performance from Gyllenhaal, and perhaps it's too good because he overshadows any of the social commentary with one of the year's most uncomfortable characters.

Bowling Green Daily News
3.5 stars out of 4 -- This is a deliciously twisted piece of work. And Gyllenhaal, coiled and ready to spring, is scarily brilliant.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 4/5 --
Gyllenhaal is Nightcrawler's battery; his creation, cooked from the greasy rinds of Jordan Belfort et al., saturates every frame with a queasy intensity.

One Room With A View
Rating: 4/5 --
It's an excitingly well written, dark hearted treatise with a vitriolic little statement all its own, a glorious new love letter to the seedy underside of Los Angeles, a city that bleeds during sleep.

Touches of apocalyptic comedy run throughout NIGHTCRAWLER....Gyllenhaal is undeniably committed to the role...

Product Description:
An ambitious young crime journalist probes the dark underbelly of L.A. in this cynical urban drama that marks the feature directorial debut of film writer Dan Gilroy (REAL STEAL, THE BOURNE LEGACY). Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a petty thief in search of a payday when he stumbles onto the scene of a grisly car accident, and witnesses seasoned "Nightcrawler" Joe Loder (Bill Paxton) gathering video footage for a local news broadcast. Convinced that this is a career he could excel at, Lou promptly purchases a police scanner and a cheap video camera, and hits the streets. In short order Lou has hired an assistant (Riz Ahmed) to help him navigate the city streets, and started selling footage to local TV producer Nina (Rene Russo), one of Joe's regular buyers. A fast learner with an eye for detail, Lou isn't above manipulating a crime scene in order to get a picture that tells a story. When Lou beats the police to the scene of a deadly home invasion in an affluent neighborhood, however, his shocking footage catches the attention of two homicide detectives who suspect he's hiding evidence that could be crucial to their investigation. But that very footage may be just what Lou needs to enter the big time.
