The Machinist (Brad Anderson, 2004)

8.5/10
I thought it was really good...great story about guilt and shame and the defenses we build for ourselves, taken to the extreme here. A lot of the things in the movie were telegraphed and easy to figure out but then there's the other little "twist" at the end that I don't know if anybody would have seen coming...anyway surprises or not it's still a really good, cleverly told story. And of course seeing Bale's physique in that movie compared to the Batman movies is a pretty amazing transformation.
