Oh! The Horror

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2001)

In some ways this film is remarkable. Many people who have read the novel of American Psycho have said it is unfilmable.So the fact that this film exists is some feat in itself. That does not mean to say that this movie is good. It is not bad, Christian Bale is magnificent as Bateman, but it is not good and plods around the outer limits of satire and black comedy before disapearing into oblivion in a most unsatisfactory manner. A worthy failure by most folks' reckoning.
