Don't judge by the taglines! This is an 8.5er.

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2012)

Honestly, if it was for the taglines and the short description, I would have never watched the movie. They sounded so uninteresting and vague... Luckily, though, I saw the movie before reading those, and let me tell you, I'm glad that I did. The movie is touching to the core. You can trust me, I'm never easily impressed.
(Why is it that the best movies are always sad?)
Actually, my 8 is an 8.5. I would've given it a higher grade, but Mr. Bale just can't really convince me. Plus that there were a few loose ends that left me with a feeling that the whole picture was not complete. Furthermore, the story is kind of predictable at times. Still, with all these drawbacks, the movie manages to draw an 8.5 out of me, which should say a lot.
Really, people, watch it. It stands out from the bunch of crap that's been thrown at us lately by a mile.
