A must-see movie!

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2002)

This is one breath taking movie! Is this truly a story about an out of control serial killer or just a story about a self-absorbed stockbroker who wishes he were unique? This movie continually causes you to wonder what is reality or just wishful thinking upon the protaganist (victim?) point of view. The setting is perfect, just as in the book by Bret Ellis Easton, the me generation of the 1980's. All the excesses (money, drugs, women, violence) are prevalent through out the film. Ultimately, the confusion over who is who and what is what, will leave you wanting to watch this movie over and over. Awesome performances by Christian Bale, Willem Defoe and Chloe Sveigny not to mention director Mary Herron are not to be missed! 10 STARS!
