Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2006)

I was so excited when I found out about this film, that I ran down to the video store and rented it immediately. I was sure pleased after viewing it. It's one of the best psychological thrillers I've ever seen. Christian Bale was outstanding in his performance, and everyone else involved in the film should win ten awards each for the work that they all did. It was an amazing movie.
Trevor (Bale) is suffering from insomnia. He hasn't slept in one year. His weight is down to 119 pounds and he's over six feet tall. His job is the pits, and he works as a machinist at an industrial work factory. His apartment is dark and dreary (but this is actually a running theme in the movie.), and he has no real life. Suddenly, that all changes. Strange things start occurring, and we're never quite sure if this is real, or if he himself is just imagining all of it, from lack of sleep.
I had to stop the movie twice, because I got so nervous and was so tense from watching it. There were times, when I thought I was going to end up having nightmares, because some of the scenes were so realistic and psychologically nerve-wrenching!
I could go on and on about how much I adore this movie. I'm ready to own it now, and I recommend it to anyone over 18 who loves thrillers like this, and can handle a little bit of disturbing aspects in film.
