Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal), a self-informed hustler of sorts with odd social skills, stumbles upon chasing the "if it bleeds, it leads" TV news footage industry in L.A. to make a living. As its central character, Louis is quite an audacious entity, I found myself both laughing and cringing at some of his interchanges with the other characters in the film, but at the core of it all, the film does hook you in, and makes you wonder what are Louis's limits in going after new footage, and it's not a tidy enterprise, to say the least.
I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
