Wouldn't you be crazier?

Jeff & I watched The Machinist last night. Christian Bale plays a machinist who hasn't slept in 1 year.

I am not sure how to describe how I felt about the movie. To watch ones mind turn and twist reality can be a fascinating thing(in a movie of course), yet scary to actually experience.

I think the creepiest part of the movie was how skinny the main character was. I find it amazing what actors will do for a role. It was on the edge of deathly.

An interesting watch I must say. Slower moving then most other movies, however an intriguing psychological thriller.

hey now, it was just at the very end of the movie that I fell asleep, not through the whole thing.

And slow moving as intensive and psychologically driven rather than fast paced action.

I don't think I can watch Christian Bale in that role after seeing his yummy self in Batman Begins.

Yeah, it was pretty gross. There were some shots that I couldn't even look at.
