WHAT'S IT ABOUT? An ex-Gulf War soldier and his mate 'attempt' to find work in downtown L.A., getting far-too-easily sidetracked by gun crime and nicking drugs.

ANY GOOD? Intense, quality viewing, and Christian Bale is scary as f**k as a psycho on his downward spiral.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'Pick up tips on passing random drugs tests here! (Warning: It looks painful)'

REASON TO WATCH: Christian Bale cracking up onscreen. Another breathtaking turn as a total loony for the Brit.
