excellent Bale

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2010)

Just before Christian Bale really became famous he was the leading role in this brilliant suspense flick. I wouldn't say that it is a horror but some do because the mind is playing tricks. Nothing supernatural but still spooky. The director Brad Anderson was already famous with Session 9. Here he shows that he can do it again. The acting of Christian is really excellent. For me the movie "American psycho" was a big flop, sadly his name was attached to it. But here, you really can't believe what he did for this flick. See his body, no tricks, he was really skinny. The shots where the dreams are revealed shows Christian as how he looks in a normal life. You really could see that an Oscar is on his way...Which actor would dropped an amazing 63 pounds for his role? It's all about the insomniac Trevor Reznik and his hallucinations. The other actors are all believable. It isn't really bloody but the flick is over before you knew it. Michael Ironside has a small role in it, typical Michael. One to watch especially to see the body of Christian and no, I am not gay!
