Should have been made 15 years ago

Rating: 6/10 (17 April 2000)

It is too bad that this movie was made now with the current MPAA guidelines, rather back when Jason/Freddie/et. al. were king--this would have been a classic. But alas, rumor has it that certain vital scenes were cut to achieve an "R" rating and it shows. The book made it clear that Batemen was a necrophiliac, but the movie makes it seem that he feels sexually inadequate because his business card is not up to snuff! There may be some rebellious elements to the emptiness of his well to do world, and the Reagan go-go 80's. If you prefer the latter explanation, this was not a bad film; if you prefer the former, this movie is almost a total waste of time.
