Read the book by Bret Easton Ellis!

Rating: 6/10 (20 January 2006)

I really liked the film, not loved, but liked. There is a strange feel throughout you could feel Bateman's loneliness and self absorbed self through the screen. Christian Bale is fantastic in this, he is the film's credit. There are lots of scenes in the film that are very tame compared to the book, I read the book a few years earlier and it is..... terrifying, scary, macabre!! The film has a softer edge, with a lot of the violence from the book not used in the film it makes me wonder if a German or other European filmmaker made it would it be more true to the book? When it comes to the end of the film and he has committed all these murders you want there to be a great ending, which it doesn't quite have. Overall this film is good, watch the film first then read the book!
