This concept is so overused.

Rating: 2/10 (22 April 2020)

This movie would MAYBE have been great if I have seen the story for the first time, but I have not. I have seen so many movies with - a guy/girl has amnesia/memory problems/lying about himself/etc... and in the end he/she finds out that he/she did something terrible like killed someone and ran away or whatever. To me The Machinist is the weakest adabtation of this concept I have yet seen, on the other hand it may be the first of it's kind (I don't remember any movie who came before this, but I have suspition this wasn't the original idea to begin with). Anyway even if it was the original movie, the rip-off/inspired ones were much better than this (I won't name any of those better ones, since it would completely spoil the whole plot of them including ending, cause they have pretty much same plot duh...).
