Fight Club owned my arse on the reveal.

But to answer the OP. I loved the shite out of The Machinist, and I am not a huge Bale fan.

SPOILERS




To SFP, this wasn't a split personality story. He hallucinated that dude. It was a false life story similar to Jacob's Ladder, with a little but of displaced identities.

Except The Machinist's detachment was based on extreme guilt

perhaps you should stick to movies like Crank if you think the Machinist was crap
Hey, don't go slamming Crank. That movie is highly entertaining. One of the few movies where the sequel is even better.

Fwiw-I really like The Machinist.

I'm not. I own Crank. It's hilarious in its absurdity. It is just not a thinking man's movie. It's an adrenaline filled (...) action movie that you can brainlessly watch and be entertained by. Explosions and Jason Statham kicks the shite out of people = I'm entertained. Hell, I even liked the Mechanic.

Now that was a good movie.

Much better than the boring Machininst. Who the hell wants to watch a guy clean his bathroom? And Bale getting skinny does not make it a this a good movie.
