I meam he's so fantastic , where he was better , in nightcrawler or this one ?

He's one of the best actors out there currently. If I had to choose, I would go for his performance in Nightcrawler, because his character in that movie was a little more complicated and it's overall a better movie. But he was great in here too.

I think I liked Jake in Nightcrawler more, but he still did an outstanding job with this movie.

Really? I've found him to dreadfully awful in everything I've seen him in.

This movie was at least more engaging then the last two.
Nightcrawler had some huge issues for sure, and Drive was nothing short of non sense.

WTF? He was not on Drive! You really don't know what you are talking about...
Anyway, it's a tough decision between Nightcrawler and Southpaw. He's definitively a great actor!

Seems I've been attributing some horrible Ryan Gosling acting to Jake, either way, they both fell short for me. .... Now to figure out why I thought it was Jake in Drive....

Well basically you don't know what you're talking about and know nothing about movies.

Was much better in nightcrawler. Amazing.

In this he was trying to be someone he's not. Hard to watch.

haven't seen nightcrawler but i was really impressed with him in this movie. the only thing that threw me off was this white boy acting ghetto. made me giggle a bit.

Jake is good. Jake is raw. Nightcrawler he was awesome. He looked hungry. Intense.
