In comparison to the book, this is rated G

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2008)

So I've seen this movie a couple times, and after some recommendations, I decided to read the book.
I don't want to turn this into a book review, but let's just say that if you're interested in something a little more graphic, a little more dark, and a little more in depth  check out the book. Immediately. And when I say "a little more," that means a crap load more. It's also a lot funnier than the movie.
But as far as the flick goes, it's also not too shabby. Not shabby at all.
It has a nice visual style, solid directing, good pacing, and a performance from Christian Bale  especially in the last 15 minutes or so  that is simply awesome. His work is reason enough to see it alone. And I'm no Bale-kisser either. He's just damn good in this.
So aside from the acting, there's some blood, some sex, some nudity, some Huey Lewis and the News, and a few hilarious scenes that make you shake your head.
As much as they suck when you have to deal with them, snobs are funny, and this movie demonstrates just that. And throws in a few psychotic murders to boot.
Watch the movie (rated R) and read the book (you can't rate that stuff).
