Nightcrawler - Jede Nacht hat ihren Preis - Kritiken

...well worth seeing just for Gyllenhaal’s spectacularly creepy performance.

This is a classic film, not just because every scene and line is casually beautiful and devoid of extraneous touches, but because its tone is mercilessly exact.

Sharp, dark, satirical and bone-rattlingly thrilling, with a career-peak turn from Jake Gyllenhaal.

...unfurls into a ghoulish and wickedly funny satire on journalism, the job market and self-help culture.

...är oerhört snyggt skriven. Vissa dialoger etsar sig fast...

’Nightcrawler’ er et karakterstudie forklædt som urban thriller fra mareridtssiden af drømmebyen Los Angeles.

Dan Gilroys debut er sikkert skruet sammen og morbid morsom, når Louis’ vanvid i stedet for at blive stoppet i stedet tilskyndes af mediefolkene omkring ham. Han vokser og man fornemmer monstret i ham, der langsomt vågner til dåd.
