The film was excellent. Heath Ledger's performance was brilliant-a perfect swan song. All the actors gave strong performances, except Maggie Gylenhall and Gary Oldman - (they couldn't quite keep up their end of the scenes with Christian Bale or Heath Ledger). The other cast members more than made up for it, though. Heath Ledger stole the film-he deserves to win the Best Actor Oscar. He was powerful, gripping, frightening, and humorous, yet evil. He almost made you want the "bad guy" to succeed. It is a shame that the film was left open for a sequel which Heath Ledger will not be in...
