The Machinist

Here's one I was always wondering about...but now I know. Liz and Robby came over and I'm glad I saw it. We were all amazed at how much weight Christian Bale lost for this role. It was pretty much just painful to see him in so many scenes with his shirt off. He looked like a holocaust victim. The premise of this film is there's a guy who works as a machinist in a metal shop and there's this guy who's after him, messing with him and the machinist is trying to track him down. This movie reminded me a bit of Memento and Fight Club - I won't say much else because I don't want to ruin the plot for you. There were definately a few twists and I really liked the ending. I wasn't really expecting it, but afterwards everything makes perfect sense. If you're into thrillers/mysteries, don't mind dark films and aren't afraid of something that might be a bit mildly scary/creepy at parts you should check this one out.
