. What a solid movie. Great direction, wonderful acting. Can someone get Christian Bale a comedy? Please the man is just too intense. This film is gripping from start to finish, and unlike the illusionist earlier this year actually is filmed with skill, and nuance. Michael Caine is superb as usual, and Hugh Jackman and Bale are magnificent. Makes you wish we could have a batman versus wolverine film. Bravo. A plus. Now hunker down, Nolan, Caine, and Bale. And bring me the Dark Knight.
