Some scenes from a book

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2001)

There is no point at all in seeing this movie if you have not read Bret Easton Ellis' novel: it only might work as a not totally unfaithful rendering of some of its narrative hubs. What it completely lacks, though, is the vivid sense of hallucination that makes the reader forgive, or not take in altogether, the plot's many inconsistencies or plain absurdities.
Christian Bale is good in the title role but too intelligent looking (not a good actor enough to look dumber, anyway).
