Bought The Machinist DVD used the other day. Watched it last night.
Was more or less expecting another poor post-Kaiser-Soze mindfuck attempt, but wanted to see it anyway cause of Christian Bale. I came away from it pleasantly surprised. The ending is rather predictable but doesn't pretend that it isn't. Somehow manages to be very intense and suspenseful even though we more or less know what the deal is. 8/10
