The Machinist...a review

Now this was a movie that I could sit and enjoy just for enjoyments sake. Was it dark? Yes. Was it disturbing? Most definitely. Was I entertained nonetheless? Absolutely. I felt the true meaning of Movie Mondays, where I get to watch something that I ordinarily would never pick to watch myself. I've never seen this side of Christian Bale before. He was so completely skinny that he didn't even look like himself to me. I know to some this statement that I am about to make is far reaching, but this movie reminded me of Fight Club. Maybe its just because of the hallucinations, I don't know, but I got a Fight Club-ish feeling overall. Don't get me wrong, the plots are completely different and one should see both to enjoy and appreciate them, but I think I enjoyed this because I liked Fight Club so much.
