Keith Ledger stole the show. He will be my odds on favorite for academy award...posthumonus. Story line was a little weak, but character development for Joker shows movies can be more than visual imagery, chase scenes and shot em up...though this movie had all that as well to increase tension. Not really for little kids, though the twelve year olds I brought along will have gained street rep with their peer group. Could use a sexier fem fatale.
