Masterpiece in depravity and dark humour

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2000)

The film leads you into the world of excess, that leads the main character into an idea that he is in total control. This apparent inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy leads the viewer into the darker side of Patrick Bateman.
A film that leaves things open ended is not always bad, as it makes the viewer question the film. Those who says the film is poor because of this, doesn't understand these types of films. Although it would be nice to spoon feed all the answers, it would leave very little to the imagination.

The film makes a good crossover from the book and violence wise the book is much more severe. We do not see cannibilism and any of the wierd sexual acts that Patrick Bateman performs in the book. It is all very gratuitous and in excess...
The film is slick, Christian Bale is spot-on as the psycho, with the annoying monotone accent. A first rate film that is fresh and different.
