Title: Great Movie - hard to watch - at times
Review: This movie caught me unaware - it wasn't a movie - it was so REAL. It was a stark docudrama of epic proportions. At times the characters were so real and nauseating, it was hard to watch. In the end it was about a person rising above his elements of environment and his family to be his best. The cast was incredible and as soon as you are swept away by their realism - it is an incredible journey. Christian Bale was exquisite and his talent at transforming himself into someone else's persona so incredible that one can forgive almost all the hipe of his ignorant, violent behavior. Mark Walberg is sold short. His acting was a suitable juxtaposition for Bale. See it. It will take a few moments to understand that this is more than a movie... it takes you away - to another realistic place and as soon as you adjust - it will take your breath away!
