Great Alternate Origin Story

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2019)

As one of the better known comic book character villains, this film makes for an interesting alternate of an origin story compared to the multitudes of others about the Joker. Phoenix commits to the role playing a realistic mentally ill/traumatized socially isolated character. Inevitably the conclusion is known from the start, ergo becoming the Joker, but the journey was interesting nevertheless.
