Strong to Quite Strong
PostedJuly 21, 2008

from St. Paul, MN
It's a strong swig of Gotham, and it tastes a little like burning. It's excellently made, if a little too long, and the well-cast ensemble holds their own against to the unsurvivable onslaught of rolled cars and general explosions. Heath is all you want him to be and more, even hot in a nurse's uniform, and Christian Bale becomes almost a supporting cast member. (But don't take my word for it, ask Alexandra DuPont.) The violence is less unsettling than the morality tale woven into the plot, and thank God they have strong enough actors to deliver some cheesy "You're the hero - no, you're the hero" lines. My main complaint, really, is that the adorable Maggie Gyllenhaal has to carry pretty much all the estrogen herself, and even then she is not without substantial cajones. Hopefully next time they'll give us some equally strong females.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
