Gyllenhaal's performance is top-notch and the main attraction of the film. Too many compare it to Drive, and it obviously falls short of that (especially in the soundtrack department). There's some killer off-beat cinematography though, and if you're like me, you may relate to the protagonist's mania a little too much despite some far-fetched plot elements. See it for Gyllenhaal, but maybe watch
Enemy instead.
Upon seeing it, I thought it was masterful: my favorite film of 2014. Looking back though, it doesn't even reach my top five for the year. Birdman, Insterstellar, Under the Skin, Tusk, Foxcatcher, Gone Girl, and even How to Train Your Dragon 2 were all far more enjoyable. Nightcrawler is like a low 8/10.
