Out of all of the movies I've seen nothing is better than the classic Hitchcock plot

(Everything smack dab in the beginning and you have no idea what is going on)

Very good and very rich in plot in the fact that everything clicks togethers as one progresses through the movie. hell even david bowie was acting in it (Tesla). All in all I have a high oppinion of this movie along with Deja Vu but that a whole other topic Smile

For me, maybe things went 'click' a little too early. The big revelation for Jackman's character wasn't much of a surprise once you saw the cats, and while the revelation of Bale's character was still a surprise (to me), in retrospect, it was kinda watered down.

The little kid complaining about the canary trick was right all along.

And while the movie itself was pretty interesting (my favorite lines: "You mean he's still alive?" . . . "Well, how fast can you dig?"), but I did not like their portrayal of Tesla.

I really liked the movie.
I had no clue what was going on at first, but then I started getting it.
And then the end totaly suprised me for some reason.

I liked the movie though.
A deffinate buy when it's a DVD.

I... don't remember 80% of this movie. Who's Tesla? Anyway... All I remember is that the ending was predictable and kinda creepy. D: Something I hated about it was the way it took a story in an 1800s setting (? I think, might be getting my eras mixed up) and then suddenly threw in this whole pile of sci-fi at the end. :l I mean, really now. :l

I might see it for Bowie (and anyone who doesn't like him as an actor can stfu and see Basquiat).

But I always wanna punch Christian Bale in the face. Is he obnoxious and bland in this too?
