The Machinist
Words falter before the achievement here of Christian Bale,
whose first appearance onscreen prompted an actual gasp from
the audience at its premiere screening. Horribly emaciated,
he lost 63 pounds to play Trevor, a chronic insomniac who hasn’t
slept for a year, pursued by a stranger who may or may not exist.
Elegantly shot, this film is a riddle with an unusually satisfying
climax.
