Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The movie is a dark mysterious thriller with our kind of feel. The reason I liked it so much is the ending wich I wouldn't tell but mostly because it was different than other movies . It's like your in endless maze trying to figure out what's going on the hole film. If you like to try something with it's own wired feel that I personally liked you should ckek it out.

Paranoia? A murder mystery that might not have actually happened? An emaciated Christian Bale? Affectionate prostitute? All of the above. This is a nightmare (not in a derogatory way) that slowly reveals itself right before your eyes. More proof of how gifted and committed Christian Bale is as an actor. Can be genuinely hard to watch at times.

Ever wonder what might happen if your mind starts to betray you? That is exactly the conundrum portrayed in "The Machinist".For a basic plot summary, the film focuses on Trevor Reznick (Christian Bale), a machine worker who is having trouble sleeping. As the movie unfolds, the mystery of his insomnia is slowly revealed, with the overall outcome (complete craziness or vast conspiracy) in doubt all the way up to the final scene.If you like movies that have a "big reveal" in the end, then this should volt up near the top of your "must see" list. The action may not be all that apparent in the middle portions of the film, but it is the process of the "slow reveal" that will keep you interested in seeing how it all turns out.Along the way, the acting will also keep you emotionally tuned in. While Bale may be a bit one- dimensional (at least so far) in terms of choosing his roles, but what he does (the intense, brooding type) always turns out excellent. Without his stunning performance physically, emotionally, and psychologically, this film would be little more than a "hook flick" (where the hook of the plot is the only thing that ends up mattering). Instead, you'll actually care about the fate of Reznick when all is said and done.Thus, I could easily give "The Machinist" a 4.5 rating, but opt for 4 in this format due to the fact that it really isn't an "instant classic". However, it has all the elements of a solid film, and will keep you entertained throughout (especially if you are a psychological mystery lover!).

The Machinist (2004) is a psychological thriller/drama film about an industrial worker who hasn't slept in a year begins to doubt his own sanity.A very dark and depressing film, but also excellent. This movie looks amazing when the colors faded to the point where it almost feels like a black-and-white film and it makes more dark/depressing film. When Bale showed his body, it made creepy how he looked very thin and he ate only one apple or one can of tuna a day for months. The story/plot twist are also awesome, but the ending is kinda sad. I'd give it a strong 10/10. Highly recommend!Christian Bale did really hard job for his role, he lost too much weight. I'm still shocked that he wasn't even nominated an Oscar for Best Actor.
