The Machinist

Trevor Reznik is four letters away from the truth.

Factory worker Trevor Reznik (Christian Bale) suffers from insomnia so severe that his condition has taken its toll on his weight and his mental health. When Trevor unintentionally causes an on-the-job accident that horribly injures a coworker (Michael Ironside), he begins to become even more troubled. Despite a relationship with Stevie (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a pretty prostitute, Trevor descends further into paranoia, blaming his problems on an enigmatic figure named Ivan (John Sharian).

Critic Reviews:

• " If Nine Inch Nails, Swans and Ministry ever loomed large in the landscape of your imagination, Anderson's gloomy aesthetic may exert a sour but lingering pull. " – Film4 Staff

• " A brilliant, harrowing performance by Bale. " – Victoria Alexander

• " A brilliant psychological horror story, and excellent direction. " – Felix Vasquez Jr.
