The Hollywood Reporter (Duane Byrge)
A brilliantly honed tale of dementia, starring a skeletal Christian Bale as a tormented insomniac wasting away and terrorized by his irreal existence....read the complete Machinist, The (2004) review at The Hollywood Reporter (Duane Byrge)

The Onion (A.V. Club) (Nathan Rabin)

All of the reviewers that said this movie was anything more than horrid are on crack.... This movie I felt like billing the producers for my time lost. Do not under any circumstance watch this movie you will hate it!!!!
