overall, good flick for character development

Rating: 7/10 (21 October 2005)

the movie in my opinion had some missing elements, but overall, i thought it was an excellent example of character development. i watched "breaking the rules" on the special features, and Leigh made the comment about it being a great character study on the affects of Insomnia. i have to say that was the most intriguing part for me, as with any movie depicting a thorn in someone's side. Bale is so freakishly thin in this movie that you cannot help but watch to find out why. He seemed to actually unzip himself and crawl right inside of a man who was guilt stricken and seriously ailing from it. it makes me wonder even more about our mental states and how we cope with our actions, or the actions of others.
