Agreed, when you think back to the description of Sirius being thin
enough to fit through the tower window, Bale was shockingly
thin--basically, he made 'death warmed over' look good.

I also enjoyed Equilibrium, especially with a dash of Sean Bean.  The
action effects/sequences were very interesting to watch but the
overall storyline was... eh (another future gone bad movie).
