The story basically goes like this:

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

About this guy Trevor (Christian Bale) suffering for insomnia for one year until his body weight is like skeletal. Everyone is worried about his constant loss of weight and even his boss suspects him on taking drugs. One day while taking a break, he met a new employee named Ivan and things started to get strange. A series of unfortunate events happens and Trevor came to the conclusion that Ivan is planning a conspiracy againsts him. One thing lead to another and slowly the story reveals the reasons for his imsomnia. About 3 years ago Trevor involved in a hit-and-run where he knocked down a kid. That guilt slowly creeps up on him and causes his inability to doze off. At last, he gave himself in to the police, and had his sleep for the first time..

My take:

This is an interesting movie but the formula is not something new. Think Beautiful Mind, Fight Club, Identity. But Bane's character is really scary, looking at his skeletal built. Based on reliable source, he starved himself for 4 months with only a cup of coffee and an apple or a can of tuna to have that skeletal look before the shooting starts. All the characters are well-played and the story is keeps you wanting to know what is exactly happening.

If this happens in real world:

Trevor is already a permanent resident in Tanjung Rambutan.

Food to go along with this: Anything except coffee, apple and tuna.

I rate this movie 4/5 buttered popcorns.
