Canada got the original uncut version

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2000)

Patrick Bateman is the Vice President of a company that does accounts or something like that. Patrick Bateman's long time girlfriend Evelyn Williams wants to get married though Patrick isn't interested in getting married. Patrick has strong desires to murder women and store their body parts in his apartment and the apartment of Paul a guy he murdered. Patrick isn't interested in anything but working out, properly cleaning himself and acting out his sick desires. The film plays out as a satire of the 1980's it shows the emptiness of the decade through the viewpoint of Patrick Bateman. The film has a number of funny times as well as scary and intense times. The director Mary Harron balances the satire elements and the horror elements in a entertaining way. The gory violence mostly occurs off screen though it does still have some good gory moments. The version I got to see was the original uncut version which has a three way sex scene. In Canada you get the uncut version which has that scene; the American version does not have that scene it has been cut out. I have not read the original novel by Bret Easton Ellis though I defiantly would like to read it.
