Reviews


90
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
A brilliantly honed tale of dementia, starring a skeletal Christian Bale as a tormented insomniac wasting away and terrorized by his irreal existence.
80
Film Threat - Unnamed
The Machinist is so brave and visually impressive, it should demand an audience.
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Director Brad Anderson tightens the screws of suspense, but it's Bale's gripping, beyond-the-call-of-duty performance that holds you in thrall.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
A harrowing experience for those to whom this sort of story appeals.

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Bale is brilliant.
