Nolen is a gift

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2012)

Nolen is a gift to filmmaking. Everything he does has great timing. I always looked at him as a great actors director, but he is just flat out talented all around. I highly recommend not only this but every film has done. Memento is one of my top ten films and though I like comedy and drama better than action, this film had wonderful acting as well as action. Gary Oldman someday will win best actor for something but it seems no matter what he does supporting or lead, the guy is brilliant. I personally love him in more quirky rolls and obviously this is not going to pull him in any awards, but it just shows he can play anything from brilliant to very simple (and do it well!). I'm on the fence usually with Christian Bale as a person but as an actor he is great and is perfectly casted in the lead for this movie. I'm sure glad these films are Darker. Leave the light hearted Batman series to the cartoons.
