The Machinist is the movie that launched Christian Bale from "Damn Good" to "Great", IMO. He threw himself into that role like I've hardly ever seen. Not just the weight loss, either, though that was grotesque and awe-inspiring at the same time. This was the best performance of that year by a pretty substantial margin (that's right, I said it! Hell with Jamie Foxx!) The plot has been done before but is decent, so don't expect a lot there. This movie is 100% Christian Bale.
