Very disturbing. Christian Bale is very good.

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2000)

Even though the violence and sex-scenes were trimmed down a bit just prior to release, it's still very disturbing and makes for two uncomfortable hours of watching. Excellent sets, production design and actors all fit perfectly into the story. And Christian Bale's cold and unemotional performance is just right. Some horrific scenes and some very humorous ones in between. Not exactly subtle in any way but that was never intended i guess.
