Cloudy picture of uncertainty

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2007)

The machinist is a movie that jogs your memory. Everything from beginning to end will have you looking back in a phase of deja vu. Christian Bales character may appear creepy, but all he needs is sleep. The director made me confused with how the plot moved, but nicely executed the ending.
This is a great movie that seems to explore memory in a conscience almost soul and body tied way. What I mean is the character is so tied to his past he creates a unreal reality of it. See it to believe!
Do not compare this movie to movies like it, as this is such a new refreshing kind of movie. It is great to see directors using the camera like this and having actors like Bale be so dedicated to their work.
