Review by: Jason James Rating:

I really didn't find much with this movie that was worth much. I does not follow a normal story pattern and even lacks many aspects of a normal story line. No climax, no build up, and no conclusion. Just really kind of leaves you wondering why you put an hour and a half into something that does not leave you with any satisfaction. It does have a few minutes that make you chuckle and a few that leave you shaking your head. I really don't want to waste a whole lot of time explaining why this sucks but it just does. Bale is good as always but really can not save a poor idea of a story. Just trust me on this one and don't waste your time.
