looks interesting


This looks interesting... I like what Dan Gilroy did with Nightcrawler...

I hope i get to see this in theatre, especially with Robert Elswit as cinematographer

You really know your cinematogrogphy!

Thanks, it's something I'm into.

Have you seen it? I just watched it. I liked it. I understand where some of the negative reviews are coming from, but I thought overall it was good. The acting was excellent. Washington was fabulous, which of course isn't unusual, but this might be Colin Farell's best performance since In Bruges and Carmen Ejogo is great, too. I think Nightcrawler is absolutely amazing (and that Jake Gyllenhaal was robbed of an Oscar nomination, which he was more deserving of than Steve Carell, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Bradley Cooper) and watching this it's clear Dan Gilroy has a distinct style as a writer-director. There are some similarities in themes.

I haven't seen it... It hasn't shown at my local theatre yet...

I adored Nightcrawler! Heard Gilroy's next film has JG in it too. And Rene Russo. :)

I finally saw this at home... Solid movie!

Denzel was great in this, fully deserves the Oscar nomination... Not the usual role for him. A socially awkward type, who is suddenly thrust into engagging with the world... But the interesting part isn't the usual examination of his personal neurosis, rather it is the moral complexity and existential reckoning that makes this movie stand out from the usual fish-out-of-water ones...

Colin Ferrel and Carmen Ejogo were really good as well... Worth checking out

Yeah, Dan Gilroy certainly seems to have something... Aside from the interesting characterisations and themes in his movies, you get a real sense of place, of L.A, that is often neglected in movies these days.

Absolutely. I totally agree. I look forward to his next film.

Very worthwhile giving a look, but not *outstanding*.
