Down-and-out grifter Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is desperate to make something of himself when he stumbles on a lucrative opportunity. Realising the value of exclusive crime footage, Louis stalks the streets of Los Angeles to be first on the scene. How far will he go to get the most graphic, sensational image?

This critically acclaimed thriller from Dan Gilroy explores the ethics of crime journalism and the consumeristic news cycle.

‘Unfurls into a ghoulish and wickedly funny satire on journalism, the job market and self-help culture’ – The Guardian
