Sanity?!?!?!?!

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2007)

The Machinist portrays the life of a very lonely insomniac that cannot remember anything. He has trouble focusing on things, and has a hard time distinguishing between what's actually happening and what he's just thinking about.
This film was done beautifully. It's not for everyone, due to the fact that a normal film watcher would probably find it a bit on the boring side. The fact still stands, the story was very unpredictable, and told in a creepy kind of way to that makes you think, "If this was happening to me, I'd go crazy"
The character of Trevor Reznick was flawlessly done by Christian Bale. The amount of time he had to have put into this film to look the way he did must have a substantial. And then to film Batman Begins a year later? Wow This guy deserves some respect for his obviously disciplined motivation to be a great actor.
