Review of The Machinist (2004) by Guido S — 29 Jan 2014

Christian Bale does one of his more dedicated performance. He is a graveyard shift factory worker who hasn't slept in over a year and it is starting to affect him by seeing people who aren't there and in general losing his mind.

He eventually loses his job as a result and goes further down the hole.I had seen this a while back and had forgotten a lot of the details, which did come back to me along the way. Don't think it works well for multiple viewings as the shock isn't quite there for the repeat viewings.

I still think it was great for the general idea and Bale's amazing performance.
