Movie Review

Grade: A A movie is always judged by it's villain and Jack Nicholson is the villain of villains. Never before have I seen someone do such a dark, chilling, superb job as Jack Nicholson does in this movie. But then there's Michael Keaton... Maybe not the most attractive or most muscular but he still fits the role perfectly.
