Anyone feel this is such an amazing movie and deserved higher critical acclaim ?

    It is an amazing movie, but it's very depressing, not the sort of thing that has had me wanting to watch it again any time soon.

    It was well received at the time with critics I think but was more of an underground arthouse film. Not many people saw it at the cinema. It's profile only became more well known as the years went by as Christian Bale's star power increased. It's got a bit of a cult following now. But yeah, I love it. One of my favourite Bale movies and it's pretty well directed by Brad Anderson. I never got why his stock never rose after making this.
