Good movie, but could be better.

Rating: 7/10 (9 June 2019)

I watch movies mostly to be entertained. Obviously this is not one of those popcorn entertainment.
I still remember I left the theater traumatized by what I saw in this film, but I guess that is the point.
After re-watching this film, I would have rated this much higher if Christian Bale's character were not in it. Christian Bale seemed out of place throughout the whole movie. I would appreciate this film a lot more if the focus and POV is moved away from Christian Bale to the female protagonist.
The production, the directing and the acting, are all top notch. I have no major issues with the film itself except for Christian Bale's character.
Again, I have to remind everyone that this is NOT a film for entertainment. You would not be entertained unless you are some kind of sadist. So viewers be prepared.
