Another great Bale film

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2007)

I gave this film 10 stars and I am not the type who gushes over movies, but this is a great film. I saw it in the theater on a lark and ended up seeing it again. Without giving anything away this movie is very sad, heart-breaking even. If this movie didn't make you sad then you are heartless, methinks. Christian Bale gives a usual great performance as a man tormented by his past. Just looking at him makes you feel for him; the physical appearance of his character only reinforces the mental anguish he lives with every day. Truly a great piece of modern film that you can really relate to as far as his life in the machine room and his guilt for what he did in his past to cause his fall from sanity. He is truly a man tormented by his own misdeeds. I highly recommend this movie to anyone.
