Superb, Bale is incredible

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2007)

I have to admit I rated Christian Bale purely on American Psycho (which I thought was awful), but I decided to give the guy another chance after reading some good reviews on this film.
I picked up the DVD for a bargain £4 and it was just about the best £4 I have ever spent.
Intriguing, never boring, superbly acted - Bale shocked me, I had no idea of his acting capabilities....his appearance in the film was disturbing, though clearly that was intentional - hats off to the fella for losing so much weight and being so utterly convincing as an anorexic.
I don't want to spoil it for anyone so won't go into any great detail, but this is so worth a watch - great twist for the ending too, it pulled it back for me 100% because the last 15 or 20 minutes had become a little dreary and that is the only reason I didn't give this 10/10 Watched it twice since and there are 1 or 2 things I don't pick up on the 1st time round, so if you have only ever watched this film once I implore you to watch it at least one more time
