HIP TO BE SQUARE

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2000)

The first hour of this film is very good. Bale manages to make Bateman both amusing, repulsive and boring. In steering away from the violence and concentrating on the excesses and faults of the 1980s, therein lies the film's problem. It begins to get a bit repetitive. Notwithstanding it's good in comparison to some of the competition, and the ending perfectly concludes what we've learnt about Bateman.
