thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Kyle C This movie makes you feel really smart for getting it all, but upon reflection, it’s not actually that deep. But it’s still pretty well done and Christian Bale deserves respect for the sheer effort it took to make such a drastic physical transformation. The muted colors and restrained directing style give a constant sense that something isn’t quite right. Combine that with a few really disturbing scenes and you’ve got yourself a solid psychological thriller. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Fer S It is a good movie, it just got kind of repetitive and I wanted it to end. I also felt I was going totally nuts, which I suppose speaks well of the movie? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review DYylan W This is the first film I saw where I considered the immense commitment of the actor. Bale always gives a great performance, but this one will definitely stick with you. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Isa B The Machinist begins on a strong note, but steadily dwindles thereafter. Christian Bale is outstanding as always. The dedication that man has is unmatched in the annals of cinematic history. He was difficult to look at with his insane weight loss for this part. He weighed 120 lbs. in this role, which is unfathomable to me. Think about his next role as Batman or think Patrick Bateman from 4 years prior. He looks like a different man. Compare this look to the much heavier version of Christian Bale when he played Dick Cheney. Anyway, you get the point. Mr. Bale is a man who is dedicated to his craft. The music for the film was definitely modeled after Psycho, however, make no mistake, this film is NO Psycho. Not even close. At times, the music sounds like it could be on Home Alone. Both the music and the Ivan character make this otherwise very serious film seem a bit cartoonish. By the end of the picture, I was tired of Trevor and his delusions. The plot is predictable in so many places as this honestly isn't a very good film. Christian Bale lost all that weight for a C movie. I can't say as though I recommend the film, unless you happen to be checking out Bale's filmography and The Machinist next in line. 73/100 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Stephen H Really good movie. Very dark and thrilling. Christian Bale! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
