The Machinist (2004)
Directed by Brad
Anderson this film stars Christian Bale, Jennifer Jason Leigh and
John Sharin. A machinist suffers from serious insomnia, paranoia and
weight loss as he begins to become unhinged.
With out doubt the
most impressive thing about this film is the execution, including the
dangerous levels of weightless from Christian Bale in the title role
which is decidedly unsettling. The plot itself is not bad but with a
slow pace seems to suffer from a lack of urgency or drive. Overall
this is a well made puzzle film but lacks a little bit more mystery
to really hook the audience in.
4/5
