harsh times
this is gonna be tough seeing as how much i love christian bale but this was a large disappointment. the excessive swearing and street talk dominates the movie, almost replaceing the plot. not a lot happens for most of the movie though there are a few tense moments and funny scenes. bale's descent into madness isnt really explained and there arent any causes for it to grow worse. in fact it doesnt, he stays the same the entire movie and then snaps at the end without any real provocation. even though i didnt think it was great there are a few interesting characters and some extremely visceral scenes
6/10
