Although originally polarizing to audiences and critics alike, it developed a much deserved cult following when released on digital video disc, or DVD. There it found a second life and really came into its own commercially and artistically. The movie works as both a grim examination of male vanity while also maintaining real genre thrills, justifying these total shifts by placing the audience inside the head of the duplicitous lead character. Christian Bale's dynamite performance gives it a big boost. The role almost went to Leo, but nobody could've brought that certain pathos and charisma to it, quite like Bale. A role he later recalled a shade of in Christopher Nolan's Batman pictures. In 2005, Lion's Gate released this; the uncut version. I think it's an undisputed masterpiece. A movie so entertaining, most people probably don't listen to the message. But they should, because it's not just a great character study but a sardonic metaphor for 1980s greed and materialism.
