Genre: Mystery Thriller
Direction: Brad Anderson
Lead: Christian Bale
You must only watch one, this or Fight Club. Watching either one of this ruins the other movie. I'd personally recommend Fight Club because it's far bigger than this. It's legendary whereas this one is only ordinary, except Bale's acting.
With this movie, Christian Bale has raised the bar for acting skills to a far higher level. Man, that guy can handle his body! He specially crafted his body for this movie and then rebuilt it after this one. God knows how he controls his body weight like that! His acting in this movie just made my Top 10 Acting list!
The movie as a whole is a total rip-off of Fight Club though. Direction was still brilliant but having watched Fight Club, the plot was obvious right from the start. Even if you want to copy a movie, atleast design it differently, man! But no, the theme was loose and totally bound with Fight Club. I wouldn't recommend you to go for this movie before watching Fight Club, because it's one of the best movies of all times and I don't want you to spoil it. So watch this one after watching that one, and after a gap. The only reason I'd recommend you to watch this is for Bale's role.
Three stars for the movie as most of it was stolen, but an extra half for Bale.
