Two charismatic moviestars leading a super-strong cast; only-in-Florida story; Miami Vice visual stylings: not enough to push Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain over the top into greatness. At 129 minutes, it’s almost a third too fat. Two hours and 9 minutes is too much to ask when it comes to psychopat…

Nightcrawler is L.A.‘s Taxi Driver, with Jake Gyllenhaal’s morally vacuous street prowler supplanting Robert DeNiro’s demented urban loner. Dan Gilroy’s movie delivers a freakish amount of cinematic energy, exposing the nightmares of Los Angeles in particular, and our Eyewitness News society …
