12 years later, still great!

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2012)

I saw this movie for the first time last week. I don't know why it took me twelve years to see the movie but it was worth the wait. This movie was great and Christian Bale was amazing.
The movie has a big theme of being the best in the work place and the protagonist Patrick Bateman (Bale) strives to be the best and when he isn't he takes the easy way out, which is where his alternate ego comes out and through his own insane fantasies he 'eliminates' the opposition.
The way that he does this is one of the greatest ways i've seen. The murder scenes although sometimes bloody and disturbing they also have a comedic prelude of Bateman (Bale) explaining how certain mainstream songs and how much better they are then any other song the artist produced, which in turn made the scenes great.
The one problem that I, and I'm sure others had was the last 10- 15minutes of the movie are very confusing and the director, Mary Harron, has a scene which misleads the audience. I don't want to give anything away because this is a must see, but the ending is a little confusing and some post movie research may be required in order to get what the truth behind the plot was.
Other then the confusing ending this is a great movie and a must see!
All the way from Batemen to Batman, Christian Bale never disappoints.
