To Go Viral, Reporter Kills People And Pretends to be First Responder To Get The Best Footage

An unemployed man is so desperate for work that he starts recording crimes to sell the footage to news stations, eventually blurring the line between mere watcher and active participant.

Definitely Jake Gyllenhaal's creepiest character, it's those goddamn eyes

For those saying the title is fake or misleading, I watched the entire movie when it first came out. While Louis doesn't shoot anyone he did cause the deaths of everyone in the final shoot out including innocent bystanders. He withheld information which could have prevented a shootout and he deliberately sent his employee to his death knowing the criminal was alive, armed and dangerous. This was to get rid of his own employee. If the cops had the evidence or a witness then he would get a murder charge. Also, he sabotaged his competitors vehicle which caused a crash leading to serious internal injuries. The movie never says the guy died but that's still attempted murder.

That’s it?! They all just drive off into the night?!? The Suspense is KILLING ME!! 😫😫😰😨

Jake G in this movie is just brilliant.
Not for a second did I doubt that he was a psychopath without a hint of empathy or remorse.

[SAMIAMFNX]

This was actually based on a true story if yall don’t know

Replace reporter with "content creator" and it is scary how realistic this is in todays world.

[swirlandtwirl]

he is invading too much privacy like some influencers obsessed with praise, fame and money

You’re telling me Spider-Man could just beat people up and make quick money? “The New York slugger is on the loose.”

3:22 “Rick is supposed to find the phattest route on the GPS”

I like how Jake Gyllenhaal can play characters on a range of action stars to creepy degenerates.

[LoganW-jbth]

I feel like if you are so desperate for money that you have to get someone killed and film it instead of all of the countless other ways there are to make far more money is kind of stupid.

I saw this some time ago. I really liked it a lot.
Jake Gyllenhaal was great and creepy as the reporter, he works well as a strange character.

[astridediva]

So he casually k*lled his partner 😢. That took a dark turn

After seeing Nightcrawler for the first time i realized Jake Gyllenhaal is highly underrated, his creepy performance as Louis was very good.

[HowToChangeName]

You think Louis is horrible socioath? Just wait until you are the subject of recording, by every single person with smartphone

[BlackAxon]

This is my favourite movie of all time so it kind of grinds my fukken gears that the title is only hanging on to the slimmest fukken thread of being 'technically correct'.

Is this movie based on Vlado Taneski? I was just watching Mr Ballen’s video about a reporter who was the first to write about brutal murders in his hometown’s Newspaper but the police figured it out because he had extensive inside knowledge.

[jayczzzya]

I remember this movie. Gyllenhaal played this role to perfection

[drearydoll]

i came here for the title and was disqapointed by how he technically didn't kill anyone since i was wondering how the hell he would even manage to get away with it (even if he could caugh in the end)

[Snartfoodler]

If you knew that police radar is actually 30 mins late it makes this harder to believe lol
