Has anyone seen this film ?

I watched it again today and I think that you could say that Christian Bale suffered for his art.

Bit of a weird film really......:)
 
Yes, a strange but compelling movie. I was worrying for Bale during that movie tho, I've never seen an actor look so skeletal. Amazing that he beefed himself up to play Batman only a few months later. Going from one extreme to the other can't be good for the heart.
Anyway, the film - I couldn't work out what was going on until it was revealed, so that was good. Nothing worse than when you've worked out the plot before it unfolRAB. That "fairground" scene was a bit freaky! Not the kind of movie you can enjoy again & again tho, imo.
 
I liked this. It helped that, although i knew a twist was coming, i didn't quite spot what it was going to be.

Much prefered Bale in this to Batman Begins, which i thought was pretty boring and he wasn't a patch on Michael Keaton as far as Batman's go.

I'd rate his perforamance in this up there with his performances in American Psycho and The Prestige.
