'I haven't slept in a year'

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2005)

This is a very good thriller that deserves a watch, It's best that you know as little about it as possible, so I won't give any spoilers.
Christain Bale is superb in this, his physical state is remarkable, especially when you consider he had to put all the weight straight back on and get into shape for Batman Begins. It doesn't overshadow his acting though and I'm surprised that he never got a look in during the awards season. After all Oscar loves a gimmick.
The cinematography is very nice and dark and the plot keeps you guessing, allowing you to figure it out rather than being flung around and confused. Director Brad Anderson deserves credit for not trying too hard to impress and surprise, he plays it out to a natural conclusion that brings everything together.
Give it a try if you're looking for a dark thriller that makes you think.
