Default The Machinist...

Anyone seen this? Christian Bale is absolutely superb in it and the storyline keeps you glued right till the end

Not sure about how he looks in it though...

I couldn't believe it was the same bloke in Batman as The Machinist. There was nothing of him in that. I didn't make it to the end of the Machinist, I gave up about 3/4's thru. I was knackered and was finding it hard work. Is it worth seeing it through to the end?

One of my favourite films.

Bale lost a record amount of weight to fit in for the part and the producers had to stop him from loosing any more out of concerns for his health. He bulked up like crazy for the batman audition and had to have medical attention from putting on weight too fast. Oddly enough he didn't suffer any ill effects when he lost weight.
