…wake up from a nightmare if you’re not asleep?

This is the premise of the movie “The Machinist” starring a very gaunt looking Christian Bale, who is said to have dropped 63lbs to look the part of a man who hasn’t slept in a year. Now that’s dedication to your art.

It was a very good movie, with a clever twist. It’s been compared to Fight Club and Memento, both of which are favourites of mine and I can see why The Machinist has been compared to them, a lot of the ideas are similar.

Definitely worth watching.
