This movie was one of the best action/thrillers I have seen in a long time. Heath delivers a startling portrayal of "Joker", the newest and badest villian in Gotham. With twists and turns, and a clear motive for both the hero and villiain, it keeps you hanging onto the edge. It's not one of those sequels you have to see the prequel to understand, either (which I expected it to be). It is a shame the young actor, Heath Ledger, died so suddenly in the makings of "The Dark Knight" because this movie would have been a SURE success for establishing Heath's diversity as an actor. ---
