Mihai Toma Trevor, an ordinary industrial worker, begins having issues with his life after being awake for over an year. Flashbacks, confusing reality with fiction, seeing people who did not exist, the lot. Things really turn out of control after he provokes a serious accident at work and gradually, everyone turns against him.It's a really mind blowing thriller following a person who's becoming insane in search of answers regarding his life. It seemed a truly wonderful idea but I didn't like the way it was implemented. Most of the time I had the impression I was watching a horror movie rather than a drama centered thriller with lots of dark and spooky places covered with blood and events which you can probably find some place where ghosts are omnipresent. I have to admit, the ending was a bit disappointing but it cleared out most of the mystery, making you understand a lot of scenes which were inexplicable at the time they occurred.Overall, I was expecting a different type of movie, a different course of events especially when I saw that Christian Bale played the main act, so the disappointment was too hard to bare.
milosprole9 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.
