Christian Bale knows how to play psychological parts really well, this being a prime example. The viewer can follow in the footsteps of his ensuing breakdown through his actions and the reasons he does what he does. His violent past plays a major role in th emovie and leads to the finale quite smoothly but predictably. Overall a good watch if given the time, not as much action as one would expect,... read more

Watch it for the two leads

An unconvincing urban road movie that would have little to no lasting effect if it wasn't for the brilliant Christian Bale and Freddy Rodriguez. This script is nowhere near as good as it promised to be, in fact the dialogue feels grossly outdated and almost childlike.

An average movie

Back in 2005, Christian Bale finally broke through with ‘Batman Begins’ but the same year, he also starred in this forgotten drama. Honestly, I thought it was not bad at all. I must admit though, the intro didn’t really convince me. I mean, it was one of the most cheap-ass war scenes I have ever scene and it was pretty obvious those were not done in the Middle East (apparently, the whole thi... read more

"May 14 "You're crazy and you're dangerous and my biggest nightmare is you with a fucking badge!" This is a good movie and the main thing that makes it good is Christian Bale's performance. The dialogue and the story were good too, but this is worth seeing for Bale's performance alone."

“Back in 2005, Christian Bale finally broke through with ‘Batman Begins’ but the same year, he also starred in this forgotten drama. Honestly, I thought it was not bad at all. I must admit though, the intro didn’t really convince me. I mean, it was one of the most cheap-ass war scenes I have ever scene and it was pretty obvious those were not done in the Middle East (apparently, the whole thing was shot on a micro-budget and, as a result, they didn’t even have a catering). Afterwards, you learn it was just a dream but still. Fortunately, this movie was not about those war scenes but about the relationship between those two guys, perfectly played by Christian Bale and Freddy Rodriguez. Basically, the whole thing is about them, hanging around in their car, drinking beer, smoking weed.” read more
