The Machinist
DramaThriller102 min
Trevor hasn’t slept in a year, and the lack of rest is turning his life into a blur of accidents, notes, and half-seen threats. Christian Bale is the gaunt lathe operator, drifting between the factory floor and his apartment as a strange man begins following him — though no one else seems to notice. As his co-workers grow wary and the line between memory and paranoia starts to fray, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón are among the few people still within Trevor’s shrinking orbit. The story stays close to his unraveling routine, in a worn industrial cityscape full of fluorescent light, empty rooms, and mounting suspicion.
