The film was fantastic,the start was like a James Bond film and yes after that it did go abit slow for a short while but then non stop action with a great twist at the end.The time flew 165mins and i could have done with more,i didnt want it to end. o/ o/

I kind of wished I hadn't, think it ruined it a bit for me.

For a Nolan twist, this one was pretty weak.
Now Memento, Following & The Prestige - those are real twists.

Have never seen Following! Isn't it his weakest?

It's uber-low budget. Think Robert Rodriguez El Mariachi and subtract about $6,000. That's the caliber of this production...and yet production-values aside, it's a damn impressive first effort. Flawed, but very good.

I stand by that Insomnia is his weakest.

an actor with more ability than to put on / shed weight. sorry to bale, but its true.

ps has anyone been able to get over hearing that bale rant, where he threatens some lowly underling who has had the nerve to walk past the great actor ? never forget / never forgive

Guy Pearce isn't that old (although clearly some people in Hollywood seem to think he's old enough to play a geriatric aboard a Spaceship)...but nah, dunno if I can see him playing the Bat...Man. His voice isn't nearly ridiculous enough.

I think it is unfair for people to keep going on about that.

I am sure there are other Hollywood actors who behave in a similar fashion but Bale was unlucky enough to be recorded.
