Pointless, boring

Rating: 3/10 (9 September 2001)

I agree totally with MissM's commentary further down.
While Christian Bale's performance was good, I couldn't see the point behind his character. Was it serious? Was it satire?
After about fifteen minutes I thought I had an idea of the movie. The remainder of the film was plain boring, as it dragged on towards the ending. An empty, pointloess shell of a movie with nothing much to say.

Bret Easton Ellis's satiric comment on 1980s Yuppie-dom definitely would have deserved a better treatment. That is, don't make a film of a book that defies being made into a film. 3/10 for some good acting.
