The Machinist Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
jammsg The flick was a pinche Twilight Zone episode. All tripped out y todo. The ending yo, that was on point.
djeka-38458 Amazing!!!!I watch 1 month before for the first time and I stay without words. Bale is soooooooo good actor,plus so sexyy(when is not skiny) My favorite actor. I recomend for everyone who like mystery ,psiholog.thrilers. love from Serbia
Ian (Flash Review)What life events or conditions drives someone to insomnia? This film explores a man, who is an industrial machinist, and how insomnia effects his everyday life to the point of perceived delusion. There is second plot point that I'll leave as a surprise that is the crux of this film. The film feels small and well-focused with an atmosphere of cool steel colors and confining shot framing that give it an ominous tone. Bale literally got into character and starved himself to become the character with an emaciated appearance. Amazingly a year later he was super ripped for his role as Superman. Overall, this is a tight little character study that'll keep you engaged and thinking.
huggibear I thought this movie was very well acted and that it had a very unique plot, but I wasn't the only one left guessing at the end. I didn't understand what really happened. But I still thought it was a good movie nonetheless. Why did I like this movie? It's difficult to explain, but it was all in the main character's mind where I tried to be in order to make sense of what was taking place or what had taken place. It didn't help me none though. I guess a good movie such as this doesn't need that much of a closure. Maybe many people understand this movie, but I was a bit lost. I'd watch it again to see what the heck I might have missed the first time, for sure. Good job on this movie! I was lost, but I liked it...kind of an odd thing to say, but it is what it is.
