Is Christian Bale the next Nicole Richie?

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2006)

That's what came to mind after looking at the emaciated Bale. He is so scary skinny and it's not special effects. I don't know how he lost all that weight and still function. He plays, Trevor, an insomniac. He says he hasn't slept in a year and his only friend is a prostitute he pays for. He starts finding post it notes on his fridge he didn't put there. And he sees a big bald guy at work that no one else does. Because of this he becomes distracted and causes an accident that results in a co-worker losing a limb. He visits a waitress at an airport diner on a regular basis. He's becoming more paranoid and thinks everyone is lying about the bald guy. He gets fired and turns on the prostitute. You know this isn't going to end pretty.
FINAL VERDICT: Good psychological film but I did think that the bald guy wasn't real from the beginning. Bale gives a good acting performance and is so think it just gives the movie an added oomph. I recommend it.
