Product Information

Trevor Reznik is suffering from serious insomnia, and it's not long before his lack of sleep causes him to have an accident at work. Rather than his co-workers rallying around him, however, they instantly turn against him, and events only get stranger...

Additional Information
Christian Bale delivers one of cinema's most sacrificial performances in Brad Anderson's mesmerising thriller. Written by Scott Kosar (2003's THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), THE MACHINIST takes place in a bleak and nondescript American city, where Trevor Reznick (Bale) is quite literally withering away to nothing. During the day Trevor works in a colourless industrial factory, while at night he seeks refuge in the bed of a tender prostitute, Stevie (Jennifer Jason Leigh). For reasons unknown even to Trevor, he hasn't been able to sleep for an entire year. In the process, he has shed over sixty pounds, making him look like a walking skeleton. After an accident at the factory costs Trevor his job, he finds himself tracking a mysterious figure that may or may not, in fact, provide some answers to his confusion. Meanwhile, he begins to connect with a pretty airport waitress, Marie (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon), who shows Trevor some much-needed sympathy. By the time the film builds to its revelatory conclusion, it becomes quite clear just what has been tormenting Trevor all along. Anderson and Kosar's vision is brought to spectacular life by cinematographer Xavi Gimenez and composer Roque Banos, whose haunting atmospherics recall the best work of Alfred Hitchcock. And then, of course, there is Bale, whose performance is as terrifying, brave, and devastating as the screen has ever seen.

Haunting and potent. Watch it.
A haunting story of delusion, with powerful characters and an eerie and un-nerving atmosphere. Film noir. Very watchable.

Awesome Movie with a Twist
Christian Bale is awesome in this movie. He plays the character Trevor Reznik who is literally wasting away due to the on going insomnia and angst he suffers from. Bale shows true star quality and depth in the lengths he will go to physically to fulfil this role. Aside from the breathtaking (and not for the faint hearted) look he achieved for this movie, he must not only be remembered for the weight loss but for the dark and moody portrayal of a man destroying himself with guilt. Reznik is tired, worried, paranoid and delusional. He is living in a world of twilight and dreams, in fact, his world is somewhere between the imaginary and reality. He is constantly receiving strange messages and threatening notes that lead him further into a state of paranoia. With his constant worry and lack of sleep, it is not long before his work suffers and he is responsible for an accident at his factory. This only deepens his anxiety and pushes him further toward the female characters within the movie. Jennifer Jason Leigh turns in a strong performance as a shoulder to cry on for the tortured Reznik and once again shows a desperate character (Similar to Last Exit to Brooklyn) that is unable to change her life and so is hooked emotionally to others and their worldly problems. With the sombre tones of this film and the eerie filming I would advise moviegoers to be aware that this is by no means a movie that will fill you with happiness. With the inevitable twist at the end and the general dark and desperate world that the characters reside in, I would advise watching this movie if you are interested in Method acting at its best and deep exploration of characters and their relationships. 10 out of 10 for acting and directionRead full review

The Machinist
This film is almost unique to any other I have watched...perhaps this is due to the amazing performance of its lead actor. The weight loss alone is worth its excellant rating!!! The story is (without giving away the plot!) a fresh new approach to the pyschological twist thrillers often churned out by the movie industry. If you just want fast action then this film is not for you but if you want something more intellectual and thought provoking then grab a look!
