Another DVD rip online just like the hobbit. I'm liking this lol

Anyway, watched the movie and it was pretty good. Felt like a less funny, less over-the-top Ocean's Eleven.

Also I have to respect Christian Bale. He got out of the batman role seamlessly. Really good actor.

He was awesome before Batman, no reason he wouldn't transition out again. He's definitely talented.

I'll try checking this out when I get home, I've heard nothing but good things. Strong cast and a good director, I don't see where you could go wrong there.

Too close to call for me.

The Machinist
American Psycho
Equilibrium
The Fighter

He's been pretty much fantastic in everything. Batman was probably my least favorite role for him, loved the movies but he was carried by the supporting cast in 2/3.

Donno why Equilibrium is on the list, that was not a movie to remember for strong acting. I would have to vote for American Psycho as my favorite Bale movie.

Bale did a good job throughout it. He was even good in Reign of Fire, which was a terrible movie lol.

I liked the movie.
Been a while I hadn't seen a con con movie.
It wasn't like Oceans at all Imo. I have them all on dvd, nothing similar at all.

He is a great actor, I do agree. He's at a point now that he can choose the movies he wants to be in.
I'm guessing a few of those movies that didn't do to good, was quite earlier in his career ;)
