Indeed, it's kinda like Boondock Saints. No one heard of it til it came out on tape.
Bale's best movies, in order:
1. American Psycho
2. Batman Begins
3. Equilibrium
4. Machinist
5. The Prestige
6. Harsh Times
7 . Empire of the Sun (he was the little kid in it)
As good as Psycho is, The Machinist and The Prestige are both better. And Harsh Times should just be forgotten altogether. Horrible film, and Bale was embarrassingly bad.
But I hated Boondock Saints, too.
