Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
muvi-fan-73 The story runs to and fro with intense visuals and drama moving around a guy acted by Christian Bale. He appears weak, describing how he has not slept for a while. His consciousness turns into vain. It starts to deceive him. Upon acting as the situation comes, it is seen that our main character gets to know how to get out of his misery a step at a time. Finally he is at peace.Actor Christian Bale's body transformation amongst various movies can be seen, it keeps circulating internet. The movie Machinist is another example of his fine work.Final Verdict: The movie is a work where guilt rides main character about something he did. He is at peace when he stop's running from his fate and accept what is justice.
cricketbat The Machinist is a dark, disturbing and thought-provoking film. Christian Bale's performance is almost overshadowed by his bare bones physique - especially when you realize his next film was Batman Begins. However, the payoff of this movie doesn't feel quite worth the confusing ride. And MAN is Christian Bale skinny!
crberme This is one of these movies that thought it can be considered old, it never gets old.The Machinist treats mental health problems really interestingly, and immerses the viewer into Trevor's mind in a brilliant yet sneaky way. The movie tries to deliver the vision of a man who's been better, but doesn't realize how low he is because he's gotten used to the felling, and if that's something hard to explain imagine how hard it is to pull it up in an almost two hours long movie. And this film still success at doing it.I Wish I could say more about it, but I would kill part of it's magic. You'll have to see it, something I recommend you to do.
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.
