Nightcrawler is a neo-noir thriller that marks the directorial debut of writer Dan Gilroy (The Bourne Legacy, Two for the Money, The Fall) in which Jake Gyllenhaal plays a determined young man who builds a business working as a nighttime freelance cameraman for the Los Angeles news scene.
Plot summary from IMDb: NIGHTCRAWLER is a thriller set in the nocturnal underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling - where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents. Aided by Rene Russo as Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.
Awards: Nominated for 1 Oscar. Another 40 wins & 65 nominations.
