Classic thriller with a great but possibly foreseeable twist.

A stand-out performance from Bale before moving on to Nolan’s Batman. An agonizing, tense plot that pushes it’s viewers to the limit.

This movie made me sad but the actos acted out of their minds and the story telling was really good. It was just a mood I wasn't ready for.

Such a suspense. I thought I had it figured out but was taken on a ride of surprise instead. Christian Bale played this role with excellence

Riddled with Kafkaesque sequences and paranoia. Shades of Memento. I rate it 6/10 and label it as a mystery.

IMO, a brilliant study of psychopathology. Bale is subtle/intense. Less is more film. Not for the impatient or CGI freaks. Great direction.
