You either get it, or you don't. I got it.

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2002)

Try to overlook the gore - it's incidental to the plot. This movie is basically about a superficial, greed orientated society. Bateman's attempts to out do his peers and be noticed and accepted get more and more pathologically brutal and heinous as the story progresses. But, despite his insanity, he's desperate to be caught. The confession at the end which draws total dismissal from his peers, just reiterates the kind of society we're in. 10 out of 10 to Christian Bale for his very convincing performance.
