Christian Bale (BATMAN BEGINS, AMERICAN PSYCHO) works in a machine shop during the day and stays up all night, cursed with the worst insomnia in the world. He often hangs out an an airport diner, drinking coffee and talking to the waitress there. He's also rapidly losing weight and looks like a skeleton covered in skin (Bale reportedly lost 80 pounds for this role).As the movie progresses things get weirder and weirder-and it's not clear as to whether events are really happening or if they are just happening in his mind. The movie successfully creates a feeling of paranoia and the payoff at the end works, making THE MACHINIST a most unsettling psychological thriller
