Best thriller I've seen in years

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2006)

If you are one of those people who absolutely hate horror movies and desperately seek heart pumping thrillers you will be really pleased with this movie. Christian Bale's acting is superb and his appearance reminds one of pictures from the concentration camps... It is amazing that an actor can commit so much of himself for a movie and it makes you wonder whether that is healthy. The movie follows very much the Hitchcock style with excellent music for each scene and amazing lightning and decor. Machinist's house is orderly yet very dark. The scene where blood flows from the freezer is fascinating and the scene where the fellow worker looses an arm is disturbingly realistic. It is simply a great movie.
