Great acting, but weird plot

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2000)

I rented this movie due to the jacket saying Willem Dafoe played a detective, and was disappointed with his minor role. This movie was nothing like I expected, and though it had superb acting by Christian Bale, I was appalled by the graphic sexual scenes and violence. I was very disappointed in the ending and though this is not a formula movie, it was very disjointed and hard to follow. I felt that I was missing something and wasn't sure who was insane...Patrick? or me? for watching it.
