Bale Excellsss!

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2014)

The opening scene in the film hooked me up for something strange to expect the unexpected from Christian Bale.As the camera pans in and out, 20 minutes down the line the characterization of Bale as Trevor haunted me and it gets your mind to be prepared to meet Trevor and his murky life as an industrial worker.
There is so much to expect from Brad Anderson and this is his best outing so far as well for Christian Bale. Suspense and Tensions of Trevor keeps us gripped to the seats. This is one of films that will keep you guessing till the end.
Brad Anderson has done a wonderful job in capturing an insomniac mood. Overall The Machinist reminded me about Altered states of mind,Jacobs Ladder and the great memento.
The plot is confusing and finally makes sense.
If you enjoy dark atmospheric psychological mystery thrillers then this is a must on the list.
And not to forget the ending i didn't see it coming. Christian Bale as Trevor will be the best in his career. the machinist still haunts after 9+ years.
