Virtual serial killer

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2002)

Corporate wannabe Patrick Bateman deals with his shortcomings by fantasizing to be a vicious serial killer. Is this a primer for whats really to come? Could anyone chop up that many victims in an apartment, and chase the last one down with a chainsaw and no one in the complex hear/see anything? It's pure fantasy. This film pokes fun at the corporate world. Christian Bale is outstanding as an ivy league sap who deals with his shortcomings in a most vicious virtual way. Be careful when comparing your business card with that guy obsessed with being the best.
