Bad remake of Memento

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2005)

This movie is similar to surreal Memento and Pi movies. But if you liked Memento or Pi you will be very disappointed with Machinist. Movie is just plain boring, predictive and there are no big surprises.
Things happen very slowly and it takes nearly half one hour for anything interesting to happen. Another mistake in Machinist is that there were not enough material telling what the main character was thinking (when compared to Pi and Memento). So you cannot fully understand mental state and actions of main character. I was also able to guess the ending/explanation beforehand.
I recommend this to those how haven't seen Memento and/or Pi and cannot choose to see either of them instead of this mediocre copy.
