Machinist, is a great twisted movie! I use to like twisted movies, like Seven, Hannibal, 12 Monkeys, Twin Peaks, The Sixth Sense, American Psycho, and it's very different movie, it's almost alternative movie. It's amazing how tiny Christian Bale become for this movie, it looks even worth than people German prison camp, and next year he have to gain his weight for Batman, he talks about this on special features Batman DVD. Direction, cameras, colors and music absolutely fantastic. And of course Christians Bale acting is just great. I't almost feels like this is opposite character from Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. I'm asking myself: Is it good for actor's career to act in this type of movies, and I would usually say not, but with his type of acting plus all movie is is focused only on Christian Bale, so we can see again his acting at his best. I also like minimalism in this movie, very simple sets, but works great to create mood of the Trevor Reznik's world, some time I even fell that it happens in middle of 20 century, and when he goes out I can see todays world, but through the eyes of Trevor Reznik. And ending is just great, reveal form his misery.
It's a great movie, but this movie not to everyone....
