The Machinist is about a machine worker named Trevor Reznik. He is an insomniac and dealing with some life changing event. The entire film is very well done. It is a psychological thriller. There is mystery and so much more, so here are the top five reasons I feel you should watch 'The Machinist'. No spoilers, unless you count the one photo of Christian Bale from the film.

1. Christian Bale. Nuff said.

By the way I am a huge fan of Christian Bale. He's a great actor and human being. There are no scandals to his name (as far as I know) and he's Batman. He lost a tremendous amount of weight just for a movie. And gained

How many people can say that did that?

2. The Plot: It's very interesting. It's very thick like mashed potatoes.

3. It inspired me to gain some weight. Christian Bale lost what seems to look like a ton of weight and it's scary to see it. I'm not underweight, but I do feel like I should gain some weight because of this movie.

4. The mystery. The plot leads a mystery throughout the entire film. The audience is wondering what is happening and going on. They are also constantly wondering what lead to the insomnia and weight loss.

5. The psychological aspect of the movie. This is the type of movie that makes viewers think. Did the insomnia bring about an event or did an event bring the insomnia?
