Not top 250?

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2007)

It confuses me how this film is not in the top 250, since I agree with the top 250 for the most part. I would hope that people who have only seen this movie once and didn't care for it should watch it again and think in the context of a comedy- my two cents. I though that the screenplay was fantastic, especially the dialogue. Another thing that intrigued me was how the director used close-ups to capture the essence of the comdeic value that certain aspects of scenes contained. This use of heightened drama makes me laugh out loud every time I watch this film. Lets not forget the brilliant acting done by Christian Bale, who IMO, is the most gifted out there right now- perhaps a younger Gary Oldman who takes better roles.
