Product Description:
After not being able to sleep for over a year, a withered and confused industrial factory worker begins to question his sanity.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 7-JUN-2005
Media Type: DVD

Amazon.com:
As a bleak and chilling mood piece, The Machinist gets under your skin and stays there. Christian Bale threw himself into the title role with such devotion that he shed an alarming 63 pounds to play Trevor Reznik (talk about "starving artist"!), a factory worker who hasn't slept in a year. He's haunted by some mysterious occurrence that turned him into a paranoid husk, sleepwalking a fine line between harsh reality and nightmare fantasy--a state of mind that leaves him looking disturbingly gaunt and skeletal in appearance. (It's no exaggeration to say that Bale resembles a Holocaust survivor from vintage Nazi-camp liberation newsreels.) In a cinematic territory far removed from his 1998 romantic comedy Next Stop Wonderland, director Brad Anderson orchestrates a grimy, nocturnal world of washed-out blues and grays, as Trevor struggles to assemble the clues of his psychological conundrum. With a friendly hooker (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and airport waitress (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) as his only stable links to sanity, Trevor reaches critical mass and seems ready to implode just as The Machinist reveals its secrets. For those who don't mind a trip to hell with a theremin-laced soundtrack, The Machinist seems primed for long-term status as a cult thriller on the edge. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews: Average Rating:

Rating : - haven't i seen this story before?
the movie is just a reworking of an old hollywood gimmick. we've seen the same thing in 'fight club'(1999), 'memento'(2000) and 'the secret window'(2004). and the story is much, much older. it was pobably old when l ron hubbard used it in his story 'fear'(1940).

it is just a reworking of an old gimmick, with all of the usual dark music, sound effects, camera angles, and cliches from central casting. it evens rips off the red car gimmick from 'the sixth sense'(1999).

i realize a lot of people enjoy these things. but it's just the same old, same old, same old. it blows. sue me.
