Nightcrawler
AMC 10.50PM - 1.05AM ★★★★
CRIME DRAMA Part scathing media satire, part scorching crime thriller, this gripping film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a misfit carving a career as a freelance TV cameraman, prowling night-time LA and shooting grisly scoops for sensation-hungry TV stations. Gyllenhaal is sensational and gets super support from Rene Russo, as a cynical TV news editor who buys his stories, and Riz Ahmed, as a homeless man he hires as his assistant. Dir: Dan Gilroy 2014, 15
