Dark, Gloomy, and very Satisfying

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2007)

Similar to Memento and Fight Club, The Machinist has a very dark and gloomy plot line and a twist that will leave greatly satisfied.
The Machinist starts rather slow. You will spend most of the time trying to figure out Reznik(who Bale plays with perfection) His skeletal figure and insomnia will leave you to question everything he does.
Midway through the movie it picks up and the conclusion leaves you greatly satisfied with all questions answered and all previous actions having purpose.
Well worth a viewing.
