    Default The Machinist

    Finished watching this today, worth a rent just for the transformation Christian Bale went through for this role. I can't believe someone would do this to themselves for a movie. Don't want to give much away, but a thumbs up from me for a flick many may not have heard about.

    After watching how well he did with the Batman role, I'm also interested in viewing the Machinist. Now, if I can just squeeze in some time...

    I want to see Batman too, but think I will wait for the DVD. I read Bale did Batman after The Machinist, so he really put his body through hell. His normal weight was around 185 lbs., he got into the 120's for The Machinist, then bulked up to 220 and came back down to 195 for Batman.

    It's crazy what some of those guys do to themselves.

    I saw this over the weekend. It was okay. I found it a bit slow, and I didn't think the end was worth the wait. 5/10
