Haunting....tragic tale of guilt and terrible consequence.....

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2006)

Christian Bale gives a great performance as Trevor Reznik, a man slowly wasting away on Insomnia and a secret terrible guilt from times past. He works as a Machinist at an Industrial Plant in Los Angeles.
He is a walking skeleton, looking like a Concentration Camp Survivor and a former shadow of his self in personality and charisma. This film cleverly depicts his slow road to insanity and possible salvation and finally delivers the tragic incident that led him to the state he has fallen to.
I'm not going to spoil it for you, see the film. If you like films like The Conversation, Five Easy Pieces, The Ninth Configuration or even Taxi Driver you will be intrigued by this haunting gem.
Eight Out Of Ten.
