Christian Bale's performance is almost overshadowed by his bare bones physique

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2018)

The Machinist is a dark, disturbing and thought-provoking film. Christian Bale's performance is almost overshadowed by his bare bones physique - especially when you realize his next film was Batman Begins. However, the payoff of this movie doesn't feel quite worth the confusing ride. And MAN is Christian Bale skinny!
