The Machinist

[Mamba]

How is this movie, for those that have seen it?

 

[NJNetz]

Somewhat similar to Memento but not as good.

 

[Mamba]

Is it worth buying?/

 

[huevonkiller]

I think you should buy it, it was a good performance by Bale again, and man did he sacrifice for this role.

I agree HK. Buy it.

Compared to Memento, how is it? I fuckin' love Memento.

Pretty much sums it up. I'm a big Bale fan and I liked his performance but the movie just flat out wasn't that good. It wasn't bad either, just not really noteworthy. I'd give it a 6.5-7/10.

 

[huevonkiller]

Well, Memento is a classic to me, there's no shame in not living up to that film. The Machinist is entertaining and I think it is always nice having a film that shows how actors should aspire to be.

I'd give it a 7 actually, I'm a big Bale fan too but I don't give away favorable reviews either.

Memento makes me want more tattoos

 

[Belarus]

Am I the only one who liked "The Machinist" more than "Memento"?

 

[danxcr]

bale is like bones and skin in that movie... but its such a great film... i wont spoil it

 

[Mamba]

I saw it about a week and a half ago.

It was an a decent movie, not better than Memento. Bale was awesome in it, though.

 

[Dark Defender]

Watch it again.

Now that you know what actually happened, see if you can pick up the clues and foreshadowing.

 

[danxcr]

i think memento was great... but machinist is up there...


hey same director rite? memento and dark knight rite?

 

[Mamba]

Yeah. Christopher Nolan directed Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, and the Dark Knight. All of them are fabulous movies.

That's because you're a movie n00b. It's a damn shame you left the best one off.
