Brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2007)

Bale does an excellent job of portraying a psychopath. Throughout the entire movie his obsessions with sex, material items, and his quirky almost OCD personality traits portray a man that is in every sense of the word, crazy. The only way this movie should be under a 8 rating is if it is perceived as a slasher film. Its not entirely about Bateman killing people, but mostly about how hes out of his f*cking mind.
Bateman as a character is so complex that it makes every bit of this movie interesting and almost funny. I have never seen a psycho portrayed in any movie so well. There's crazy people in movies so often, its rare that you see one that makes you say "sh** this guy is really f8cking crazy". Bale as Bateman pulls this off as well as Hopkins does Lecter.
