Darth Fett Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Anyone seen this movie? The trailer makes it look interesting & I've heard it's got some neat twists, but I haven't had the chance to see it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I thought it was pretty fricken unorigial and um... the opposite of clever. Plays out like a mediocre episode of the twilight zone, and it's plot twists don't work in a world where stuff like Fight CLub and Donnie Darko is the mainstream, some of this stuff might have surprised people 30 years ago... Christian Bale is really really good though, it's almost worth sitting through just to see his emaciated skeleton. Other than that, nothing much to see.

MetalHeart Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Cj got this and burned it, but gave it to our friend Logan to watch. I think it's since been BAH-leted from the computer, so we haven't gotten a chance to see it. We're too silly to purchase or rent it, so I guess if what Junker says is true, we can wait a little longer to watch it. heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I just saw it solicited thru the Dendy(the local Indy cinema), and with the words "Fight", "Club", "Christian", and "Bale" bandied around I was purty keen. Might just sleep it thru 'til dvd tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Aside from Christian Bale's skeleton there's still a bit to be watched. It isn't as good as Session 9, Brad Anderson's previous film, but if you see it through to the end it's got a twist which, while not the strongest ever, should do its job of making you look back over the whole movie in a different light. I thought it was a well decent movie, Bale is excellent/disgusting, it's gotta be worth a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldier of fortune Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Bale was very good in that film, but the twist was a bit obvious before it was revealed. Still it wasn't a bad film, just decent. But Nanno nearly puked when you see the side profile of bale in the bathroom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Yeah most of the appeal comes from Bales freakish torso. The subtext that runs through the movie is pretty heavy handed and doesn't leave much to the imagination. It's still worth watching to see how your suspisions pan out and there's a few nigling details that I'm pretty sure are never explained. Like Kos mentioned Brad Anderson's previous movie Session 9 is far superiour in the scare department (and it's got Peter Mulan) but both are worth a look.

Jont Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 But Nanno nearly puked when you see the side profile of bale in the bathroom! Scary as that was the scariest part for me was seeing Christian Bale with his shirt off for the first time in Batman Begins and reasising that that's the same man. If he is a man that is, and not some psychopathic method-machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
