Here, shorn of every ounce of body fat, Bale is laid open like an autopsy specimen, and he easily gives his best performance.December 03, 2004
It begins dark and depressing, but ends up merely dull.December 03, 2004
It's one of those movies that you admire more than you enjoy, but Anderson and Kosar are clearly talents to watch.April 29, 2009
A brilliant psychological horror story, and excellent direction...January 09, 2010
It's not necessarily a fun or loveable picture, but it is interesting and entertaining.October 24, 2011
A brilliant, harrowing performance by Bale.February 09, 2006
One can't deny the dubious appeal of the spectacle of the skin-and-bone Bale, quite possibly endangering his health for the sake of his art.May 18, 2009
With time as a buffer, it's now easier to see The Machinist for what it is: a labyrinthine leap down the rabbit hole into a nightmarish wonderland.December 10, 2004
[Bale's] is a great performance, full of commitment and sacrifice, and The Machinist is one of the year's best films.December 03, 2004
A stunt that didn't merit Bale's startling, and dangerous, transformation.October 24, 2011
Until now Bale's screen persona has been defined by a graceful athleticism; here his physicality is repellent, yet he carries the occasionally creaky plot of Scott Kosar's unsettling screenplay to a resonant finish.October 24, 2011
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.
