Good Movie

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2007)

I read the novel and didn't think anyone could make it into a decent movie. I was surprised to see this classic was made into a good movie but still not a great one.
Cristian Bale was excellent and I don't think he will surpass the performance he has given in this film. You truly believe when watching that he is a confused, soulless yuppie monster. The confusing slide into insanity is very believable through his violent crimes (whether they are real or imaginary).
Reese Witherspoon was a bit disappointing in her role and the other characters in the film turned out to be pretty two dimensional but I guess that might be necessary since it is so much about the main character alone.
