So disappointing...

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2007)

This should have been a great film but was just another plot hole filled 'whack an explosion in every five minutes blockbuster'. It could have been directed by anybody and starred any identikit action hero. The real shame was the quality of talent in this movie and how they were wasted, i assume they all wanted to work with Christopher Nolan. I expect they were disappointed on both the script and direction, i hope they return if he makes a better film in the future. The only interesting scene was where Bruce confronts the crime boss Carmine Falcone in his club and Falcone instructs him on the nature of fear and respect. There were subtexts and issues in this film that surfaced every now and again such as society's attitude to violent criminals, vigilantism versus law and order but they were simplistic and juvenile leaving me with the question 'was the script 'hollywood doctored'?.
