Absolute Crap!

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2002)

I heard all the euphoria regarding this movie and I've read all the reviews. I was expecting a master piece and I got quite possibly the worst film ever made. While the acting was never in doubt, it was some of the best acting I have ever seen, the plot was pathetic and the flow of the story was slower than a snail crawling up a window. Christian Bale gave the performance of his life and lives up to his billing as the hottest under 30's actor alive and the scene where he runs down the corridor of an apartment block bollic naked with a chainsaw was hilarious. But in truth he was giving the worst dialog I've ever had the misfortune of listening to. The constant blabbering on and on about Phil Collins etc... was just tiresome and got very annoying as we moved from cd to cd. I just had to watch to the end out of sheer frustration at the fact that I have watched over and hour and didn't want to make a fool of myself for staying with a film that long and not turning it off.
In short this film was pants and gets a one.
