Christian Bale delivers his best performance for years as fund manager Michael Burry.

It is Blade Runner.

Drive is cool. Really cool. In fact this will probably be the coolest film you will see this year.

Some films need to be watched alone. This is one of them.

Not so much a thriller, with an unexpected twist, as a schizophrenic character study, a portrait of the artist as a disturbed young man, still exercising his creative imagination to the very end.

An accomplished feature about sin and redemption.
