The Machinist

This is a movie from 2004 Netflix recommended for me. It reminds me so much of another movie, but I just can't put my finger on which one! I started watching it thinking "That's Christian Bale!" "No, that can't be Christian Bale." "Honey, I think that's Christian Bale." I thought it was some independant foreign film when I started watching it. I later read that Christian Bale lost 60 lbs, getting down to 120 and wanted to get down to 99 for the film, but stopped at 120.

Besides being obsessed with watching how thin Christian is in this film, it is a good psychological thriller. I was trying to figure it out the whole time and even thought about it days later.
I'd give it a 3 out of 5. It's a little slow and really weird, but still worth watching.
