...chemistry between the two stars in the film, and they set out on a wild road trip after Slater kills Drexyl, Arquette's former pimp and coming into possession of some narcotics owned by the Mob. Oldman hams it superbly as the somewhat larger than life and colourful pimp and rarely has there been such a character in a film who is so obnoxious, so unbelievably vile with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever that we cannot help but cheer when he meets ...

I'm sure most people have seen a Batman film in the past, although with the special effects directors can now include in their movies, this was going to be something special.

...Bale has taken on, before Batman he appeared in 'America Psycho' (2000) and since this movie he has appeared in 'The Prestige' (2006).
