Not at all what I had expected. This 2004 drama/thriller was dark and exposed a glorious soundtrack. Very reminiscent of 'Sin City', this screen gem took it's audience from the present to the past in 101 minutes. Time also played a significant role in the film as our main character Trevor Reznik played by Welsh Christian Bale see's the same time on the clock over and over again and at that moment in the film our mystery is also revealed. Holder of 10 wins and 10 nominations, it's a film that ought to be studied and upheld.
Filmed in Spain with an estimated budget of $5 million USD it was written by American Scott Kosar and Brad Anderson. Our stars are: Welsh power-house Christian Bale, talented American Jennifer Jason Leigh, Italian sweet-heart Aitana Sanchez-Gijon and hauntingly delightful American John Sharian.
A marvelous and clever story depicting an insomniac and obsessive personality that believes the world is out to get him. If the film-noir, blood, dark dialogue or sickeningly emaciated body doesn't get to you, then the music and acting certainly will. Beautifully shot and heavy on being thought-provoking, this film is one that will be easily remembered forever. :)
