Nightcrawler Ratings & Reviews
- Scott Thomas5d agoIt was okay. Not one of Jake’s best.
- ayayronFebruary 23, 2025Sociopath uses false advertising to recruit interns
- thomasrogers753November 14, 2025I’m reminded every time I watch one of his movies that it’s insane that Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t have an Oscar
- SamDecember 16, 2025there is a man cast in this movie whose last name is papajohn
- makdelartNovember 14, 2025A sociopathic reporter and aspiring capitalist in the sociopathic world of media. This is how corporations are created: you have to steal first watch.
- mickerdooOctober 24, 2025Gyllenhaal's performance of a sociopath is bone chilling. Filled with cringes, jaw drops and insensitivity. A modern thriller masterpiece.
- Trad WaifuNovember 11, 2025if I wanted to see Jaake Gyllenhaal being kinda freaky guy I’d just watch Dougie Darkness
- joechammNovember 1, 2025One of my favorite movies of all time
- NotoriousEdgeOctober 20, 2025Jake Gyllenhaal plays a sociopath so well in this movie I now question if he is one in real life.
- Billy ZaneOctober 16, 2025I went into this thinking it was the origin story of the Marvel character Nightcrawler. Good movie, but not what I was in the mood for at the time.
- jackmeatSeptember 2, 2025My quick rating - 7.1/10. Pretty original premise that slowly draws you in to some slightly interesting turns if you stay with it long enough. Worth watching for sure. Also some great acting performances here.
- tellumAugust 17, 2025Watch this creep be the creepiest.
- StairwaytothestarsAugust 4, 2025Be careful who you crawl around with at night, and Jake Gyllenhaal is great as usual.
- Hipster ZOMBIEFebruary 24, 2025Jake Gyllenhaal plays a opportunistic ambulance chaser who will stop at nothing to get ghastly film footage to sell to the local news. Gyllenhaal delivers one of his career-defining performances, embodying Lou with an eerie intensity that makes him both fascinating and terrifying. His character’s relentless ambition and lack of empathy drive the film forward, creating a disturbing yet captivating character study. Beyond its thriller elements, Nightcrawler serves as a biting critique of modern media, exposing how the pursuit of ratings can blur the lines between news and entertainment. It forces the audience to question their own complicity in a culture that rewards shock value over integrity.
