yep, great film. Did you know Christian Bale was filming *Batman Begins *about the same time? (Just before or just after, I can’t remember.) So he had to go from skeleton-thin in this one to Caped Crusader-buff in the other.
I loved the look of this film - that washed out noirish blue-grey - and the intensity of Bale’s performance.
