Christian Bale playing Jim Davis and his friend played by Freddy Rodriguez, Mike Alonzo...BOTH are terrific in this movie, Mike tries to balance out Jim's stress of getting a job in law enforcment while Mike has his own issues to face, similarly finding a job of his own. Bale gives one of the most riveting, intense performances i have ever seen from any actor on screen. Yes theres been plenty of comparable roles from other actors, and BETTER movies...but this movie should not be missed. Personally, when i saw it years ago i didnt like it much, because it was just too much going on, too insane, and too dark (even for me).BUT.....ReWatching the film made me notice how special and unique this movie really is. 8/10 Story/Characters/Score/Realism, all aspects of this movie are awesome. Its is dark, brutal, funny and INSANE. if you like either actor, you will like this film im pretty positive. if your a BALEHEAD, then you will fall in love w/ the movie no doubt.
