    A dark,moody ,intense film. Chris Nolans direction is excellent. And Heath Ledgers performance is stunning...He goes to the edge and teeters on the precipice. And Christian Bale: another dark,brooding,intense Welsh actor. His performance is also noteworthy.. An excellent film...Next up: The X-Files.

    I watch pretty late, kind tired, waited t the blu-ray end of this year. No doubt best movie this year, but i don't think is best movie ever as some said. The sequel plot is heavy based on police and criminal stuff.
