Rent The Machinist (2004)


Trevor Reznik (Christian Bale) has not slept for a year. Wracked by exhaustion, his weary mind increasingly plays tricks on him. Then one fateful day at the machine shop where he works, he's involved in an accident and a fellow worker loses an arm. Reznik's guilt turns to paranoia when he discovers cryptic notes in his apartment and a ghostly apparition haunts his every move. Is it someone out to exact revenge for the gruesome accident? In a desperate attempt to save his sanity, Reznik must uncover the truth... but the more he learns, the more terrifying his sleepless nightmare becomes.

The Machinist review by Kazzie

Don't bother!!

I was browsing the films and felt I had to write a little review on this. It was a while ago when I watched it but all I remember is that it is very slow, boring and not worth the watch. I remember the plot being a little weird. Although Christian Bale is is a great actor, I think the film seems in a "b" category. I am a little phazed as to why he accepted the script!! I think the end was ok as I recall but don't watch it unless you have a couple of hours you want to waste!!!

Memorable Physical Performance

From Christian Bale, the weight loss is actually horrifying. Unlike the recent Hunger where you actually see the physical issues with such a low BMI, here Anderson focuses on the mental aspect of the character. It is a very stylish thriller, with a strong supporting cast however when you look more closely you can see the cracks and shallow depth. The ending felt a little too clever for its own good.
