A true psychological thriller!

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2018)

When I first saw this movie some years back, I was most impressed with Christian Bale's transformation/weight loss. People usually refer to this movie by saying..'Oh! the movie in which Christian Bale shed his weight only to gain for Batman Begins' - in a nutshell this movie has become a stopover for guys who want to see Bale in each oh his body transformation feats. And no doubt, calling Bale's efforts commendable would be an understatement. However, this very thing overpowers the movie in itself! What I mean is, less people talk about the actual movie and just remember the weight loss part! That's sheer injustice to the overall movie, which is actually one of the best psychological thrillers of 21st century.
This movie is one of the greatest examples of pure, unadulterated, non-commercial movie-making. Direction, acting, editing is way ahead of its time. The setting is still relevant in 2018 and doesn't lose its charm with time.
I hope this movie gets its due appreciation!
