Heath Freaking Ledger

Wow! What a performance by Heath Ledger. Even though this movie is a blood-bath without the blood, I still think it deserves an "R" rating for the creepiness of his character. He embodied the idea of how Morgan Freeman's character describes as 'someone who just wanted to watch the world burn'. The action and peril is intense and relentless. A little too much for me from a story point of view. It seemed to drag out a little at 2hrs, 30 mins. Don't get me wrong; it never drags. it was just one betrayal/disaster after another. These kinds of cinematic elements are good to me when they are unexpected and climactic. In "The Dark Knight", they are de rigeur. Still, overall, excellent movie. If Heath Ledger's death wasn't tragic enough on its own, seeing the kind of work he could produce makes it even more so.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
