This is easily the best movie of 2008. It will no doubt receive many nominations for screenplay and a few others, most notably for Heath Leger's Joker, which made Jack Nicholson look like a harmless jester. There were numerous parts when the theatre stopped and applaueded the film in the middle of the movie. The only negative that I've heard and seen was it was very graphic and violent for a PG-13 and young kids might not be able to handle the violence. Seriously. It was that good.
