Great horror-comedy made of a great book

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2006)

Christian Bale does great casting in this funny, sarcastic and sick comedy. Although lot of scenes were taken directly from the book, this is totally different. Yes, there is Bateman, Louis, Evelyn and others but putting this together as a movie makes it truly humorous. Book itself wasn't so humorous, lot of sarcasm painted with black humor and sick stuff all over detailed, still this movie isn't much of a horror movie at all.
For those who hadn't read the book...
It's late in 1980s. Movie follows the story of a 27 years old Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street broker with lots of money and nothing to lose. Patrick is kind of a person that doesn't care about anything, doesn't get any satisfaction of anything, self-hatred, schizophrenic person and doesn't like anybody. Still he is wearing his mask of sanity to spread in, not to be noticed too much in the crowd so that he can execute his sick fantasies for real. Or does he..? Very much fun watching, great characters, great directing, never really losing to touch. Some people just can't understand this movie. It's a movie you shouldn't take too seriously and still, you haven't to be empty-minded while watching.
This is good.
Great movie, 9/10. Anyway I recommend first reading the book, then watching the movie. I don't think I'd get it at all if I hadn't read book first.
Truly worth of watching for most people and of course horror-movie fans especially.
