Very clever but missing something

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2019)

I felt this film was very well done. The direction was brilliant as was the acting. Christian Bale shone as Patrick Bateman creating a tense and unnerving tone. Whilst having a great story, the off screen violence distracts from the story, making it more difficult to see things from Patrick's point of view. I feel this makes the character a bit distant with the audience and prevents any kind of bond or understanding with him.
