The beauty of this movie is the same beauty in Heath's face. Much like his laugh, smile, and dialog, this movie has a dark underlying air that really cannot be described. In other words go see it before you die or a small child eats your soul. The beautiful Bale had another memorable performance but Ledger stole the show...and Eckhart had a great performance. Basically if you don't see this movie, you might be the dumbest person on the planet...this side of the Mississippi River.
