Great acting, let down plot.

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2020)

I had heard great things about this movie, but after watching I felt as though it was just another average psychological movie. Christian Bale's performance was commendable and brilliant, as was the other actor's. However, the ending of the film made out that all of the violence and murder committed throughout was in Patrick's head and never actually occurred. I think the film would've worked better if we see Patrick get away with what he did, and continue to kill undiscovered, as it would show how hidden things in life are. Some of the relationships and behaviours in the film were very bazaar and not expected, and unusually Patrick seemed to be one of the more normal characters, which was certainly not the aim of film. Overall, it was a good movie, with great acting, and good murder scenes.
