**Nightcrawler** is a dark thriller about an ambitious man who becomes increasingly ruthless in pursuit of crime footage for news outlets. Expect strong violence, frequent profanity, and disturbing content as the protagonist crosses ethical lines. This film is strictly for mature audiences and not appropriate for children due to its graphic nature and morally corrupt protagonist.
