This film really is one of his most under-rated in my opinion, instead of his usual happy lovely every-things o.k endings, he really has a grown up ending. I won't say exactly what it is for those of you who haven't seen it...but watch it and you'll see what I mean.
Two words why you should watch this film alone, Christian Bale!!! I've never seen such a brilliant child performance as his acting here, as it is essentially a film about his character-Jim. A young boy who is separated form his parents during the Japanese invasion of China during the second world war. Bale completely held my attention throughout the film, and is really remarkable. John Malowich (spelling?) is also very good in this film too as the American who Jim befriends once his parents have vanished.
I can't urge you enough to see this film you won't be disappointed!!!
