Jake Gyllenhaal stars as an amateur nightcrawler (videographer) Lou covering crime scenes in nighttime LA. The film displays the development of Lou as he becomes a professional nightcrawler. While his equipment improves, his character hardly changes remaining even more determined and agreeable to risky behaviour. The business is tough and Lou takes no prisoners in his approach. The film knows how to keep tension high at the right moment and shows the extent how Lou has become a poisonous influence to himself and the network, perhaps never to be kept in check.
