another excellent job by Bale....

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2019)

Bret Ellis has only a few novels/movies, so many people probably came to this movie, especially years later on dvd from his previous works, especially less than zero. While 'zero' I think is a more interesting adaptation, the overwhelming performance by christian bale really makes this an excellent film. I only saw this in 2019, and was very surprised to read that at the time of release this film was criticized for being anti-woman and so forth. i do not see that at all. it is a pshcyholgocial study of a murder who goes after women for f sakes. would we say the same of film adaptations of jack the ripper and movies like that.
for the Bret Ellis fans, I feel you will be quite satisfied, however I have not read the book and cannot really comment on that. Maybe NOT a good first date movie.
