Dark, creepy, and mesmerizing. Gyllenhaal is absolutely brilliant, bringing this nocturnal sociopathic character into oscar worthy territory. Beautifully shot with and a stunning yet eery portrayal of late-night/early-morning L.A. Nightcrawler was captivating and anomalistic, peppered with brief instances of dark comedy that allow Gyllenhaal's character Lou Bloom to become analogous to Robert DeNiro's legendary portrayal of Travis Bickle.
