5/10

The controversial book has now been adapted to the silver screen... I haven't actually read the book yet, but I've heard from a lot of people that it should be excellent. Too bad that the movie isn't. The actors are great (especially Christian Bale), you really get this 80's feeling and the crew has done a good work overall. So what's the problem then? Well, the script actually. The idea is interesting and the satire about the yuppie-world is clever, but after one hour or so you start nodding off, because at that time everything starts to feel somewhat samey. Too bad that they couldn't keep up the interest all the way based on such a plot... Doubtless one of the greatest disappointments of 2000.
