July 18, 2009I was really expecting so much more with this film, the posters, title and whole look gives you a certain feeling about how its gonna go, but its very disappointing and dull. There are some nice scenes but it needs so much more.

September 10, 2007don't bash bale. he did very well in this film. he was very convincing in this picture. i can think of many other actors in hollywood that are 10x more over-rated than bale. like terance howard or colin ferrel. just wait until "the dark night" comes out. then you will think otherwise.
