An enthralling look at the possibly disturbing effects of the overindulgence of the 80's.

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2005)

The film portrays the life of a man who has been spoiled by money and success but, at the same time, can't seem to satiate his need for superiority and recognition from his colleges. Murder ensues as a result. This divergence into violence from the neat, wall-street appearance is captivating and oddly humorous and the allusions to the many serial killers and horror films that lead up to that time are very entertaining, and have dual effect of showing the unoriginality of the lead character. Overall, it's a very good film; however the movie dips into absurd towards the end, leaving the viewer to question whether the psychotic events of the film are real or simply imagined by Bateman.
