I like the film for Joaquin Phoenix’s performance. It was simply one of the best acting performances I’ve ever seen. I did feel the plot was simply tossing, “Fight Club”, “V first Vendetta”, “King of Comedy” and “Taxi Driver” into a bowl, mixing it up and pouring it out. Not especially original or new. To me, the film is best enjoyed by enjoying an outstanding performance.
For the performance alone, it is worth seeing.
Yeah, it’s basically “Taxi Driver”.
And like “Taxi Driver”, it’s very dark and very, very good.
So, my review is triumphant, and you and your review must now skulk away back to your Amish lair.
