    I think you should buy it, it was a good performance by Bale again, and man did he sacrifice for this role.

    Pretty much sums it up. I'm a big Bale fan and I liked his performance but the movie just flat out wasn't that good. It wasn't bad either, just not really noteworthy. I'd give it a 6.5-7/10.

    Well, Memento is a classic to me, there's no shame in not living up to that film. The Machinist is entertaining and I think it is always nice having a film that shows how actors should aspire to be.

    I'd give it a 7 actually, I'm a big Bale fan too but I don't give away favorable reviews either.

    I saw it about a week and a half ago.

    It was an a decent movie, not better than Memento. Bale was awesome in it, though.

    Watch it again.

    Now that you know what actually happened, see if you can pick up the clues and foreshadowing.

    Yeah. Christopher Nolan directed Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, and the Dark Knight. All of them are fabulous movies.

    That's because you're a movie n00b. It's a damn shame you left the best one off. [​IMG]
