Oscar performance

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2000)

Forget anything you've heard about the book - this movie is an Oscar calibre, acting showcase for Christian Bale. And if you're old enough to remember the excess of the 80's, you'll giggle gleefully at all the references you've tried so hard to forget. The extreme gore in the book is insinuated. Any B-movie, teen slasher film has more violence. Definitely worth full price admission!
