Review of The Machinist (2004) by Francisco G — 14 Nov 2011
One of the best psychological thrillers of the 00's is a very dark portrait of guilt and redemption.
Bale carries the movie and the editing is smart enough to keep you on his side long enough,subtely and gradually towards the end, making you doubt about him with little situations and surreal imagery. It's this attention to detail that is the real sellout of this low budget flick: you don't need money to make something meaningful and powerfull as long as you keep an original approach, never treat your audience like an idiot and make your movie interesting giving use to the limitid tools available.
