Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2004)

You ever watch a movie that you could tell was great but really couldn't explain it. Its like Eraserhead where the movie is great. I love the gritty cinematography the acting is great, especially considering this is the first big film for most if not all of them. Arrenofsky's second film took this films themes of loneliness and alienation and incorporated into a story of drug abuse, however here it is more raw and true here. While it is true that this movie is not for everyone, it did show quite a bit of promise and the great ability that we would later hope to see in the new Batman movie. Quick cuts and frenetic pacing, which are now his stock and trade were seen here for the first time, rough on the edges but still a very important film.
