A brilliant psychological horror story, and excellent direction...

A brilliant, harrowing performance by Bale.
Orlando Sentinel
December 10, 2004
[Bale's] is a great performance, full of commitment and sacrifice, and The Machinist is one of the year's best films.
February 27, 2009
Here, shorn of every ounce of body fat, Bale is laid open like an autopsy specimen, and he easily gives his best performance.

It's one of those movies that you admire more than you enjoy, but Anderson and Kosar are clearly talents to watch.
October 24, 2011
If Nine Inch Nails, Swans and Ministry ever loomed large in the landscape of your imagination, Anderson's gloomy aesthetic may exert a sour but lingering pull.
October 24, 2011
Until now Bale's screen persona has been defined by a graceful athleticism; here his physicality is repellent, yet he carries the occasionally creaky plot of Scott Kosar's unsettling screenplay to a resonant finish.

It's not necessarily a fun or loveable picture, but it is interesting and entertaining.

A stunt that didn't merit Bale's startling, and dangerous, transformation.
May 18, 2009
With time as a buffer, it's now easier to see The Machinist for what it is: a labyrinthine leap down the rabbit hole into a nightmarish wonderland.
February 09, 2006
One can't deny the dubious appeal of the spectacle of the skin-and-bone Bale, quite possibly endangering his health for the sake of his art.
Detroit News

It begins dark and depressing, but ends up merely dull.
