The amount of weight Christian Bale lost for this film is amazing:

He done similar again with The Fighter last year.

Anyone that likes psychological thrillers will love this.

I don't know what it's about but I love psychological thrillers so I'll look out for it. I watched The Fighter last week and I didn't even realise at the beginning it was Christian Bale, he had lost so much weight for the part. I was amazed at the change in his physical appearance from when he was the addict at the beginning to when he was clean towards the end of the movie. He was so convincing.

It was really good. So was The Fighter, I really loved that and need to get it on DVD.

Yes, when they showed the clip of the brothers at the end of the movie, I realised just how spot on Christian Bale was, I really like Mark Wahlberg, find him very watchable, but Christian Bale totally stole the movie
