Dark, Twisted, and Hilarious

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2001)

**!CONTAINS SPOILERS!** To me, this was one of the best films of 2000. The acting, casting, and the direction are all great. Christian Bale was perfect for the role of Patrick Bateman, and I cannot imagine Leonardo Dicaprio(who was originally going to play the part) in this movie. He would have ruined it.
This movie is a hilarious satire of the 80s culture. Nothing in the movie is that graphic. There is some blood and violence, and while the sex is explicit, the scene with Bateman flexing his muscles while having sex with the two prostitutes is hilarious, as are all his speeches about commercial music of the time. The business card scene also rates high on my list.
Compared to the book, which is horrifying(but darkly funny as well) in its description of the murders, the movie is really rather tame.
I would recommend this film to anyone who is tired of all the brainless teen slasher and comedy movies coming out today, and would like to see something different.
