Full Plot Details

Trevor Reznik is a machinist in a factory. An extreme case of insomnia has led to him not sleeping in a year, and his body withering away to almost nothing. He has an obsessive compulsion to write himself reminder notes and keep track of his dwindling weight, both scribbled on yellow stickies in his apartment. The only person he lets into his life in an emotional sense is Stevie, a prostitute, although he has an infatuation with Maria, a single mother waitress working in an airport diner. His co-workers don't associate with and mistrust him because of not knowing what is going on in his life that has led to his emaciated physical appearance. A workplace incident further alienates him with his coworkers, and in conjunction with some unfamiliar pieces of paper he finds in his apartment, Trevor believes that someone or some people - probably one or some of his coworkers - are out to get him, using a phantom employee named Ivan as their front. As Trevor goes on a search for evidence as to Ivan's schemes and whereabouts, Trevor may come to a true understanding of what has caused his insomnia.

Movie Reviews

Blunt Review - 10/10 by Emily BluntThe Machinist is a beautifly haunting - chillingly stark - film that places you knee-deep within an oblique nightmarescape a strange and troubled man is experiencing.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Brian MckayAnderson's use of lighting, editing, sound design, and score hit just the right nerve endings, creating a film that keeps turning over in your mental gears for days afterward.
eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Erik ChildressA fractured puzzle of a film that continually toys with our expectations, yet never lets us see its entire hand until Anderson wants us to
Film Blather - 9/10 by Eugene NovikovCovers familiar ground with elegance, teasing out its twists and turns in a way that seems natural rather than contrived.
eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Scott WeinbergThe Machinist manages to forge something fresh and unique while clearly showcasing some affection for the film noirs and the twilight zones that came before.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinA superior exercise in mood and atmospherics, a drama that springs from a place of deep disturbance.
Movie Gazette - 9/10 by Anton BitelChristian Bale gives his best by giving less in this nightmare tale of a machinist who is one tool short of the full set.
Time Out - 9/10 by Geoff AndrewOne can't deny the dubious appeal of the spectacle of the skin-and-bone Bale, quite possibly endangering his health for the sake of his art.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Duane ByrgeA brilliantly honed tale of dementia, starring a skeletal Christian Bale as a tormented insomniac wasting away and terrorized by his irreal existence.
New York Post - 9/10 by Megan LehmannAnderson gives The Machinist a sickly noirish look that contributes to the creeping horror - but it's the emaciated Bale's spectral presence that leaves the imprint.
