A great paced movie with an awesome performance

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2016)

When I went to watch this movie I didn't expect much more than a good psychopath movie, maybe with a plot twist to get the notoriety it has. Well I was quite wrong.
The movie depicts a suit man that works at Wall street and that could be easily identified by any viewer as psychopath, named Patrick Bateman and being played by Christian Bale. Being the star of the movie, Bale deliver a rock solid performance, that makes the character very captivating. Other big names on the movie is Willem Dafoe and Jared Leto, though it gets too little time on screen too really matter.
As the movie goes you keep discovering, through discretely killing scenes or thought provoking conversations, more about the people around Bateman, and more importantly, about what the movie tries to depicts through satire: A society very materialistic and with shallow motivations, and someone that get so bored with this idea that goes on a killing spree to keep sane... or does he? with an ambiguous ending we are left to wonder if all the killing was just Bateman's imagination, or if it was real.
As an overall the movie delivers nice writing, great acting, classic scenes and an end to keep a discussion going.
