An incredible movie!

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

Dark, thoughtful, and beautifully shot, this movie and particularly Bale's performance takes you down an alley, beats the hell out of you, and makes you want to come back for more. It's a nightmarish landscape on every level of the soul, with a message of redemption that stays with you for a long time. What Bale did to his body for this movie alone creeps under the audience's skin, and his crisis of guilt and self-loathing create a sub-reality that is inescapable. The terror is rarely on the surface, but always lurking in the sleepless shadows of Bale's mind.
Jennifer Jason Leigh and Michael Ironside also turn in superior performances.
Loved this movie.
