The Machinist

We saw The Machinist yesterday. Pretty good movie actually, though a bit spooky at times. It's in no way a horror movie, but more of a psychological thriller, where you end up expecting the worst. Christian Bale does a very good job of being the disturbed, sleepless, skin-and-bones main character, who has some serious problems. If you find it creepy or too wierd, don't stop half way since that would ruin the whole film. You have to see it all the way through to find out what has happened and why everything is happening the way it is.

I find it a bit hard to compare it to anything else, but something like 6th sence without the ghosts and generally more gloomy. If you like the think about the film both during and after seing it, you have to see the machinist. If you only like action movies, brainless splatter movies or chick flicks, this is not for you...
