The Machinist

[beeboo]

Very dark and atmospheric, but I thought the ending was a bit too 'tidy everything up, dust you down and send you home feeling content' like your mum bringing you some hot milk after a particularly nasty nightmare.

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

I thought it was shit.

 

[baldrick]

i thought it was great. but i've only seen it once. now i know what it's all about i wouldn't get the same out of it again, a bit like memento.

 

[Santino]

It was ok, but not much better than a episode of The Outer Limits or something.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm sure it will come to film 4 soon enough. I think I can wait.

 

[Culdee]

Yeah, it felt a bit clumsy; I mean that whole left and right thing, repeated multiple times, felt like hammering the point home far too much, felt more like an attempt to shoe-horn as many Dostoevsky references as possible than an actual narrative. That said, the atmosphere was delicious, and I loved the guy with the long teeth and the crippled hand, thought he was excellent

 

[Grandma Death]

Great film that gets in your head.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Amazingly sinister, loved it

 

[Jenerys]

Really wasnt worth Christian Bale missing out on burgers imo

 

[Laney]

I thought it was shit.

Same.

 

[Stigmata]

I liked it. Michael Ironside was awesome as usual.

I liked it. Michael Ironside was awesome as usual.

What a name! What a voice

Top flim, kind of reminded me of Momento (ba-boom tish), can't rmember enough to decide which is better. The actor is the same guy who played the doubtful Cleric in Equilibrium (another top flim, way more substance than the Matrix) and was the little kid in Empire of the Son. I hear he went without food for twenty-five days to shrink to the size of a twelve year old, just to play that role.

Just watched it. Blimey. Claustrophobic is not the word.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I recorded that last night.

Michael Ironside's in it? Worth a watch then even if the film does turn out to be crap

 

[DexterTCN]

Strangely, I thought it would've been more suited to a one-hour tv type thingy - I kind of see it as a short story.

Bale's efforts in this film are distressing, visually disturbing.

Dostoevsky all over the place, too.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Torrenting it now.
