Whoah, it’s pretty Dark. I mean, like, really dark. I kept forgetting it was only 12A rated and then getting confused when you didn’t see any blood or real violence. All the violence was implied and off-camera, which in some cases is actually more effective as our own twisted minds fill in the blanks.

I loved the bank heist opening scene, oh so very Michael Mann - someone Nolan admits was a big influence. Ledger is magnificent as The Joker, the expression on this face when he is locked up in the police cell is fantastic. Reading the “trivia” on imdb it sounds like he went to a pretty dark place to get the character right, something which unfortunately may have contributed to his depression.

I really want to see it again now. I haven’t immediately wanted to see another film again for a while.
