What’s it about? – I reallydidn’t get this film until someone explained it to me then it just clicked. It’s a strange film which makes you believe that the main character is a murderer but it’s all inside his head. Plenty of blood, sex and craziness.I really did not get the film so can’t really explain it much better.

Is it any good? – Christian Bale delivers a grand performance as the psychopath and a great performance by Chloe Sevigny helps it along its way however unless you understand it, it’s not very good.

Why should I watch it? – Give it a go but it is crazy.

How do you rate it overall? – 5/10
