Strange with little reason to be.

Rating: 5/10 (24 August 2012)

From what I understand (or try to), Christian Bale is a normal factory worker until one day he hits a young boy with his car. He drives away, and over the course of a year he becomes an insomniac who fabricates realities and people, some of whom are actually real. His new imaginary friend causes him to confront himself about what he did and the movie culminates with him turning himself in.
That's all well and good, except that this movie is an hour of things that either don't matter or are not resolved. Is Stevie referring to Trevor as a psycho in front of his face? How does he know things about both Maria or her son that turn out to be true? Why does the guy who loses his arm seem like he knows what's really going on? Why isn't there an APB out for Trevor? While I'm wholly impressed by Christian Bale's commitment to this role, the movie was laughable at its attempts to be meaningful.
