It's a great film which Bale owns. It's kinda like Suspiria in the sense that every aspect is just average or slightly above but the direction and style is so phenomenal that it elevates the film from being average or slightly above to great, in the Machinist instead of the direction and style elevating the film it's Bale's performance. It imo was the second best film and the best male performance of '04.
