You can find the same effects in <em>The Troublesome Man</em>, which I highly recommend. The most notable connection I made, though, was the psychological "fill the blank" game that the main characters played with their hallucinations, after the jig was up, and the audience knew what was going on.

It is a very good movie. Christian Bale played one of his best roles in it. And I don't see any reason to compare it with "Fight club". I like “The Machinist”. It is a very good movie.
