I haven't watched this. I've always meant to and forgotten, but this is as good a reminder as any. Looks excellent. Christian Bale starved himself for four months for this part, weighing in at only 120lbs. Even more astounding is that straight after this film he started production of Batman Begins.That is some serious dedication to his work!

It's an OK film. The marketing mentioned that it was a mix of Fight Club and Memento and that's about right. It manages to be less interesting than either of those films. The revelation/twist didn't seem an interesting enough payoff for what had gone before. Also Bale is left to carry the film on his own and I can't help but feel that he needed better support.

And Bale's weight loss was remarkable but I just wish it was part of a better film.

There are some really odd Nine Inch Nails parallels with this movie. Around the time of it's release With Teeth was still being called Bleedthrough and the NIN web site had quotes from the Lathe of Heaven (Bale's character works with a lathe in the movie).

With this next one I'm very anti-spoiler when it comes to movies so I don't want to say too much, but originally Bleedthrough would have been more of a concept album, and had themes very similar to the movie's. The last song on With Teeth is an example of a song that probably was left over from the original concept.

Also the main character's name, Trevor Reznik... similar to someone else's.

That movie was brilliant. The trailer didn't do it justice.
