Kudos for this brilliant achievement

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2011)

Kudos to the director, writer and the lead actor along with the entire cast. Psychological thrillers are my favourite and to find a good one is difficult. This surely went past my expectations.
While we guess what will happen to the Christian Bale and what will he do, pieces of the jigsaw puzzle are served to us without us even knowing that they are a part of a larger puzzle. So when in the end everything is brought together along with the past of the central character the audience take home more than what they were looking for in the first place. Isn't that the best thing to have in the world - getting something more than what you expected?
The characters of the waitress at the airport, the prostitute in the apartment, Reznik were well drawn and the acting impeccable. The movie is gripping and when the suspense opens in the end we are left with a remarkable insight into the mind of a schizophrenic. The realization that Bale/Reznik has is sudden and abrupt, but it does not hurt. The reduction of camera colour brings a gloom very necessary for the film. If you like discussing films, this movie will give you plenty of things to do just that.
If intricacies of the human mind fascinates you, this is a made for you movie... Don't miss, don't delay watching it!
