This movie is by far best known for the pictures of emaciated Christian Bale like the one pictured above. His character is a blue collar factory worker with a body that resembles a dehydrated prune. The majority of the movie is spent in bewilderment and irritation in his quest to make sense of these recurrent hallucinations he keeps seeing. Finally, shriveled Christian Bale unlocks a pivotal memory that makes everything crystallize into clarity. But now it's too late. A crazy person cannot return to ordinary life after spending so much time as a crazy person, so the movie just ends.
"Psychological thriller" is perhaps my least favorite genre of movie. It cannot be watched more than once, it is nonsense during the movie, and the story is irrelevant after the movie ends.
