Movie Review by B Movie Ben
June 1st, 2007

Not quite blonde, are we? More of a dirty blonde.

Mary Harron (The Notorious Bettie Page) writes and directs another great film that I am still trying to categorize.

Christian Bale (Batman Begins, El Maquinista) is absolutely terrifying as someone who proceeds to rape, murder, and torture in gruesome ways without one bit of remorse. His filmed encounter with two prostitutes was revealing. He was so focused on himself! It was bizarre to see the self-absorption.

I have no earthly idea what Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) is doing in this movie, but she is Bale's fiancée.

Willem Dafoe (Spiderman) was creepily persistent. Did he know more than he let on? And just what happened? Did he do all this or just imagine it.

I think I need another viewing.

I know people are always recommending stuff, but really, this is an amazing book. If you thought the movie was graphic, you ain't seen nothin yet. It's a quick read, too. It's worth checking out.

I was not a fan of this film at all, I didnt like that the violence was minimal and that there was too much of almost a comedy aspect thrown in. I did think Bale's performance was good.

With any luck I will never have to watch this movie again.
