I (finally) watched Nightcrawler last night and thought it was very good. Gyllenhaal completely steals the show though. As you say, he really has become a very good actor indeed. It's the little things that make the difference. The 'natural' things he does in his behaviour. Looking forward to Southpaw now, more for the performances because, as you say, I'm told it's very formulaic and predictable.He really seems to absorb himself in his roles, makes the world of difference! I have no doubt that him and Ledger would have gone on to be the best two actors around. Gyllenhaal is becoming fantastic in everything he does and he has the abilit to carry off a blockbuster and the acting chops to pull of something like Nightcrawler. He also has quite a wide range of roles which is good to see.
