MOVIES : The Machinist

Ouch!
For this film the main actor lost a LOT of weight - you could see he ribs through his pecks (if you know Judd who I used to live with from Brisbane, like him at his worst). He plays the role of a guy who, for some reason or other, hasn't slept in a year, and hasn't eaten much either.
It's as though something was eating at him...
He's somehow keeping down a job as a machinist at a factory making stuff with metal, stuff with big presses and lathes, a place you don't really want to be if you are sleepy...
oooh running out of time. Um. This was a warped movie, some good suspensful stuff, and managed to keep you from know exactly how things are going to turn out as everything is viewed through the fevered/enfeebled brain of the lead character. I guessed the 'twist' fairly early on, which dissapointed me, but didn't stop me from enjoying the sheer strangeness and suspense this film is brimming with.
I guess I'd compare it to the horror flick set in the tube I saw a month ago, but it was much better and didn't have the advantage taking of women stuff
