A thoroughly irritating film. I'm not sure what type of character Christian Bale was trying to portray, or what he studied to get into the role but he managed to hold a single expression throughout the entire movie. It was just so irritating. Maybe he did it for a bet?

The dialogue was equally poor in many places. Normal people don't talk to each other like that. It was all hammed up to level 11.

I'm sure there is a good story in there somewhere but this definitely doesn't do it justice. If you get to the end you'll just be thoroughly irritated by the characters (caricatures) and tedious dialogue.

Don't waste your time.
