Equilibrium

Hey everyone -- I was in the chat yesterday and took a quick poll. It seems that very few people have heard of the movie Equilibrium, which is pretty much the best movie around (and has nothing to do with finance). So in an effort to raise awareness of my avatar and to generally promote the movie's awesomeness, I suggest you all buy/rent/borrow it right now.

Definitely not the best film around. It earned its spot as a cult film, but it's not that great of an overall choice. Decent casting is what saved it from being awful. Although the plot did have its holes, it helped establish Bale as an actor who could do action. I mean, it wasn't like the Machinist, which was a fucked up yet well done movie, but served to further Bale's career as a well rounded actor.

 

It was a pretty badass movie, but wouldn't say it is one of the best around

It was an excellent film with good acting, a great musical score, a solid story, and some very important messages. If you haven't seen it, it should be on your list.

oh, and compared to today's garbage....it is one of the best around. I would recommend the film to anyone.

He made me watch it.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Another great Bateman film that has nothing to do with finance in which he acts his ass off and kicks other peoples asses is Harsh Times. Check it out. Totally worth it.
