Summary - Great 4.0
Despite a predictable twist near the end, the Machinist is a surprisingly deep and disturbing look at a man who has lets his life spiral into nothing.
Acting - Perfect 5.0
Bale is awesome, and even more impressive is what he had to put himself through to get the look he needed for this film. He weighs only 120 lbs looks sickly throughout.
Male Stars - Perfect 5.0
Female Stars - Perfect 5.0
Female Costars - Perfect 5.0
Male Costars - Perfect 5.0
Film - Great 4.0
Direction - Great 4.0
Dialogue - Great 4.0
Music - Great 4.0
Visuals - Great 4.0
Edge - Horrid 3.7
A little violence, including a semi-graphic accident at a machine shop, but nothing too graphic is show on screen.
Sex Lewd 3.7
Violence Savage 3.7
Rudeness Nasty 3.7
Reality - Glib 1.7
Without spoiling anything I would say that most of what happens in this film could happen and that makes it all the more disturbing.
