The Machinest

so i was recomended this movie by several people... i was told that it was really good.. and i am a fan of Christian Bale ... so i began my movie watching... i am not 100% posotive that reading this won't ruin the movie for you if you havent already seen it.. but i will do my best.. so here goes...
first off, if you are queazy, i may steer you away... there were certain scenes when looking at christian, or as his character was known, Trevor Resnik, was quite unbearable... but it is quite amazing what lengths some actors will go to for a part that they want to play... anyway.... he is a machinest, who has been an insomniac for the past year.. and as you can imagine, that is NOT a very good combination....and the movie unravels the chain of events to explain his insomnia and the quirky qualities of Trevor....the movie starts more at the end and then kinda flashes you back to get you updated.. and then eventually continues where it started...and the pieces all get put together...it was filmed very well.. and the acting was superb... but for me, i didnt find the movie to be as enjoyable as expected.. maybe bc it came so hightly recomended... but i just felt like it was quite predictable... and it led me to be not so interested... to be honest with you, at first it had me quite on the edge of my seat, but somewhere along the line.. i lost interest and kinda got a feel for what was going on... overall, not the best movie.. but it was fairly good and i would recomend that you check it out... but dont get your sights set too high.. and maybe it will be better for you than it was for me...
