Nightcrawler

A clever, low-budget potboiler in which Jake Gyllenhaal plays a sociopathic scumbag. There’s a strong and welcome opinion here about the state of TV news, but since there’s no likeable characters, it’s hard to connect with this movie on an emotional level. You watch from a distance. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it also means you leave the theater feeling kind of icky. Still, good performances all around, and it’s always nice to see Bill Paxton.
