We’ve had a great two days here with some top releases, but it’s been quite a slow Sunday and I thought maybe it’s time for a new pick. So, I present you with my humble staff pick to possibly introduce you to something new or at least give you a new topic for discussion. My pick this time will be appreciated by fans of Christian Bale the most. As evident by this film, Mr. Bale’s dedication to his movie roles are unsurpassed. He has gone down from 180 pounds to 120 pounds for his part in this 2004 film, before gaining it all back and then some for his buff superhero role of Batman in “Batman Begins” just a year after. Yes, the skeleton in the picture is no other than Bale himself. About the movie, it is a well received mystery thriller that has a very cool tone to it. This will be a great watch for open minded people who like the genre. For your viewing pleasure, I’ve added a torrent link for the HDRip along with the NFO. Take notice that the HDRip is 3 minutes longer, not sure why. Enjoy!
Synopsis: Trevor Reznik, a machinist, has lost the ability to sleep. But this is no ordinary insomnia. Trevor has not slept in a year. Fatigue has led to a shocking deterioration of his physical and mental health. Suspicious of his appearance, Trevor?s co-workers first shy away from him, then turn against him after he?s involved in a shop accident that costs a man his arm. They blame Trevor for the accident. He has become a liability to himself and others, and now they want him out. Plagued with guilt, Trevor?s shame becomes suspicion, then paranoia, when it appears his workmates are conspiring to have him fired ?- or worse. First he finds cryptic notes left in his apartment. Next he?s told that a mysterious co-worker involved in the accident doesn?t exist. Are these mysteries part of a plot to drive Trevor mad? Or is it fatigue that?s robbing him of his reason? Determined to find an answer, Trevor investigates the strange occurrences that are turning his world into a sleepless nightmare. Yet the more he learns, the less he wants to know.
