Synopsis
(2004) Brad Anderson's stark drama stars Christian Bale as Trevor Reznik, a factory machinist who accidentally maims a colleague. He becomes convinced he's the victim of a secret conspiracy and retreats into himself, eating nothing, not sleeping and becoming more and more paranoid. In spite of Reznik's physical and mental state, both call girl Stevie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and coffee shop waitress Marie (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) take an interest in him, and slowly he reveals incidents both in his past and at work that have made him what he is. Bale, who lost 63lbs to play the skeletal Reznik, conveys the anguish of a tortured man who lives a life of continual despair, in fear of enemies who may or may not be tangible. VIolence/ strong language.
