One of the Year's Best Films

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2008)

I was completely stunned by the ferocity of "The Dark Knight". I've yet to wrap my head around it all. Christopher Nolan has upped the ante in every possible way. The muscular storytelling, intense action, impeccable production, direction, and the ensemble cast, are all on their best game. Ledger is a revelation. Arguably, it's his best performance, and the performance of the year. His Joker will live on as the most vital villain to hit the big screen in years and for many, many more years to come. The magnitude of the finale in 'Knight' is emotionally deep, haunting and inspiring. "The Dark Knight" will rattle the senses and linger in your thoughts long after.
