a great movie, I highly recommend it.

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2004)

Going into this movie, I didn't really know what it would be about because I hadn't seen any previews or anything. The Machinist is a beautifully dark and twisted movie that allows the viewer to travel through the often-demented mind of Trevor Reznik as his life unravels before him because of his constant lack of sleep. His insomnia eventually affects every aspect of his life and causes him to hallucinate and have nightmares during the day, even though he's not asleep. I won't give away the ending, but I thought it tied the movie together nicely and you'll have to see it for yourself to find out how it concludes. PS: Christian bale's emaciated frame was very disturbing and realistically depicted how a man consumed by remorse for an act can eventually lead down a self-destructive path.
