Ratings and reviews

This movie is edge-of-your-seat and creepy, yet you can't turn away. Christian Bale's performance is perfect. Just look at the cover of the movie; you can see he absolutely nailed the narcissistic look. Just do yourself a favour and watch this. If you love watching dark satire, crazy antics, and to feel the suspense as the "shark" entices his prey... You will love this movie. Easily one of the few classics from the 2000s.

fantastic movie! i can't believe i waited so long to watch it. christian bale's performance is unforgettable and magnetic. a brilliant, suspenseful satire that keeps you on the edge of your seat. definitely a new favourite!

Amazing characters, acting, legendary scenes. If you've seen this movie, you've quoted the Huey Lewis scene at least once. If you're going to watch it, you'll quote so much. It's a memorable movie, and one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Watch it as soon as you possibly can.
