A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2002)

This is one of those films that actually gets better each time you watch it and thats not something I will often say. I first saw this at the cinema when it first came out and enjoyed it but it wasnt until I watched it again on Box Office that i really started to appreciate it and appreciate is an important word to use when describing this film.
Christian Bale gives a great performance as Patrick Bateman the soave business man who has fantasies of comitting murder on randomn victims. In my view he doesnt kill a single person but that doesnt matter thats not what this film is about. Its psycological. I dont want this to sound obnoxious but if you did not enjoy this film it's because you didnt understand it. Give it another go. Look for the way Bateman portrays a false image within his vanity and how two faced the business men are to each other. These men are rich but look at there relationships, money cant buy these men true friends and loyalty. They all treat each other simply as formalities. They enjoy themselves, dont get me wrong, but its all skin deep.
This film is easily in my top ten favourites of all time and I would really appreciate any e-mails expressing views on this film whether good or bad. I will be happy to discuss it with you. i could have said a lot more but i don't want to add any spoilers!
