Could they have cast it better?!

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2006)

OK, before I say anything about the movie - Christian Bale is the perfect Patrick Bateman.
This is one of very few adaptations where I'd say I like the movie and book equally. Guinevere Turner's screenplay is brilliant! The direction is fantastic. Rather than turn the book into a gory horror (which the makers easily could've done), the main themes of materialism, obsession and the strive to be the best, are all still blatant in the movie.
The film is quite creepy in some places, but not scary enough to be classed as a horror. It's also worth mentioning that all the performances were great; but Christian Bale's was utterly outstanding.
I would urge everyone to see it.
