If you think you know Christian Bale, you don`t (except all you who have seen this excellent flick). After Equilibrium this outstanding actor started to get better roles, but for me this was that crucial role. Story revolves around Trevor Reznik, who works in metal factory and struggles with his insomnia.He finds refuge in strange relationship with a prostitute and an airport café waitress. After a while he starts seeing things, and weird things start to happen. Movie has that cool underground, mysterious look to it, I can`t really describe it. Check it out you will not regret.

Fun Facts: The producers of the film claim that Christian Bale dropped from about 173 pounds in weight down to about 110 pounds in weight to make this film. They also claim that Bale actually wanted to drop down to 100 pounds, but that they would not let him go below 120 out of fear that his health could be in too much danger if he did. His diet consisted of one can of tuna and an apple per day. His 63-pound weight loss is said to be a record for any actor for a movie role. He regained the weight in time for his role in Batman Begins (2005).
