THE MACHINIST (2004) - Jan. 3, 2005
A bizarre movie about a man who seems to be losing his mind. Christian Bale, who clearly put a lot of work into playing this role, was pretty much the best thing about the movie. Between Bale's performance, and the unique look of the film, the movie manages to remain entertaining for a while. However, as the film progresses it becomes increasingly quirky and bizarre, which essentially ruins everything it had going for it. What could have been an excellent character study is undermined by the strange and obtuse second half. **
