Trevor Reznik, a quiet and reserved loner who works as a machinist, is wasting away from lack of food and sleep deprivation leaving him gaunt and fatigued. After a year of suffering from severe insomnia, he is involved in an accident at the workplace that leaves a co-worker seriously injured. What follows is a dark descent into paranoia, as Trevor's downward spiral leaves him obsessed with finding out the meaning behind the strange and bizarre occurrences taking place around him.
What I loved most: The 1969 Red pontiac,trevor finally relieved from his insanity upon recalling his haunting past ;&qu
What I really hated: The rotting fish in the fridge going bloody,imagine the stenchy fishy smell
hahahhhahahaahahha this show is like dark mystery comedy,mainly because bale's portrayal of trevor reznik going haywire in his head was somehow funny to me; you should see the confusion on his face when he was confronted with the truth of his sinful past ,man it's got such a comedic effect unexpectedly.His painfully skeletoric bony body is like a piece of art,it naturally brings about a genuine visual effect in the show,funny bones in mad panic and desperation.Bale's overall performance is definitely memorable whenever "the machinist"
comes to mind or vice versa.I liked Ivan too,the imaginary guy in trevor's hallucinaton,i can't really figure out whether he's good or bad or both but he is a cool character playing trevor's mind,eventually leading trevor to unravel the pain and guilt from his past.This show is unlike any films i had seen; the story is really good dark original and everything blends well from the cinematography to the soundtrack.i had seen it several times already and it's still hauntingly fresh hhahaha i actually watched it several times to figure out certain parts which left me puzzled .Bale's convincing performance really distracted me from the story.Brad Anderson had done a great job too.Of course i learned something from the show's message which is probably one of life's important lessons,having the conscious and courage to own up to the mistakes we made and move on before guilt takes you on a spin to route 666 hellride of madness,pain and tormenting insomnia.
