Entertaining, though a little obvious

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2020)

Too predictable in where it was going, but I liked Christian Bale's commitment to the role, the Dostoevsky references, and that dark amusement park ride, Route 666. It was nice to see Jennifer Jason Leigh at 42 as well, since ageism applied to women is often so unfair, and the last scene she has with Bale radiates intensity from both of them. I like films that play with your mind and visually this film has a nice aesthetic; I just wish it was a little harder to figure out.
