Good suspense thriller

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2003)

This is one of those movies that left you thinking "Why did he do it?" It had so much graphic violence which even made me laugh, I'm sorry to say. Christian Bale's character Patrick really made me laugh at times but it was a very good movie. If you're a fan of suspense movies or horror movies, this is one of them in which you definitely have so see soon. He was just bad, bad, bad and sadistic! Also there was a lot of pervasive language, sexuality and nudity. Very necessary element in a suspense. I watched this movie by myself at night. It is not one that will scare you but it would make your blood crawl at the violent content it displays. The end of the movie left me a bit confused but it was still good to make this movie one of the best of 2000. I was impressed that it was directed by a woman and you know that these days, there aren't many female directors out there (Mimi Leder, Betty Thomas just to name a few). This movie deserves a 9/10 because it was enjoyable.
