I Liked It But...

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2007)

Maybe I missed something (possible) and maybe I'm putting too much onto my innate sense of justice, but I was left severely wanting after this movie ended. Chrisian Bale's character was ultimately responsible for the first fatal stab against his rival by tying the wrong knot on the wife of Hugh Jackman's character, resulting in her death. This act, followed by the Christian Bale's character initial sabotoge of the other's stage shows, seems to warrant that he'd be the one who ends up paying for the injustices in the end. Yet he doesn't, and in fact he wins in the end. Hugh Jackman is the one who loses and Christian Bale wins, and with the assistance of the Michael Caine character. Someone tell me what I'm missing here...
