Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Sehr guter Film, immer wieder gerne. Richtig hart geil.

I rarely turn off a film, but I did this one after about 20 minutes of cinematic debuachery. It was airing on Epix at 10:30 in the morning. And we wonder why society is going into the abyss with entertainment of this caliber. Enough said.

Bret Easton Ellis' haunting and controversial 1991 novel about a psychotic business executive who specializes in "Murders and Executions" is brought to life with some trimming here and there, most likely to avert a high rating and to not displease viewers with uncut visual depictions of the already graphic novel. Christian Bale gives a stellar performance as the maniacal Patrick Bateman which absorbs the viewer into his world of delusions, stained sheets and prostitutes. The supporting cast is great as they reflect upon Bateman's ever crumbling façade. S

Superb parady of the world of pretentious yuppies, and the pressures and effects of consumerism and having to maintain appearances. Based on the book by Bret Easton Ellis, it is fiendishly funny at times, yet simultaneously very realistic. Great acting by Christian Bale, in one of his first major roles.
