      >>Why?

      The script was written by Dan Gilroy, one of the most connected and successful writer/directors in the biz.? ?Even so, he had hard time getting the script filmed because the protagonist is? an anti-hero character.? He succeeds by subverting? conventional ethics.? The encounter with a “nightcrawler” is the inciting incident in that he discovers a profession he thinks he could be good at and one that would be far more lucrative than being a petty thief.

      And (spoiler) he is successful.? There is no reversal of fortune that leads to his downfall.? He doesn’t get his just desserts, doesn’t to pay for his misdeeds, his crimes.

      He’s not a sympathetic character.? But he is an intriguing one.? He’s pathologically perfect for the profession. for operating? in a working milieu, a fiercely competitive, cutthroat business.?

      And through the pathology of the character, Gilroy explores the pathology of? the profession.

      Before I saw Nightcrawler I hadn?t heard the term before and I don?t think it?s a term that everybody knows. So maybe clarify a little what a Nightcrawler is.

      How will he stop at nothing? Try maybe describe a little to get the feeling of how far he actually goes.
