Ohh I can give this film a chance, it wasn't all bad I guess. I kinda didn't like the smug Brad Pitt init, mind you I bet he weren't to smug when he only got 38 bucks. Anyway I guess it's a film for Downey Jr. fans, I mean you can sure tell the drugs are getting to him, poor boy, good thing he's off them now.

Overall it's an average film.

even though this film is way diffrent than the books It's still worth a watch, Robert Downey jr's character in this film is really well acted it's scary at times, James spader is well acted as well, and andrew mcarthy seems like he's boring in this film but he's not even if you don't really care for this film the score is really brilliant I had found it on youtube and that alone sticks with me whi... read more

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"Ed Lachman's cinematography is letter perfect as always in its handling of light and color (assisted here by Barbara Ling's flashy production design), but it's a pity to see it wasted on such claptrap. - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader Perhaps this wasn't the best subject matter for British director Marek Kanievska (Another Country) to make his American debut. The feel for this distinctly Southern California story escapes him. - Variety Staff, Variety "

Authors Hate the Movie Versions of Their Book (22 movies items)

" Bret Easton Ellis hated the film initially but his view of it later softened. He insists that the film bears no resemblance to his novel and felt that it was miscast with the exceptions of Downey and Spader."

Master Downey (Robert Downey Jr.) :D (47 movies items)

"12 His performance really surprised me in this movie. It's an old one and I didn't expect it to be that good. He played a coke addict who was trying to get clean. He was savagely gorgeous but some of it was hard to watch. He was really very good, it was disturbing. Aside from that he was very energetic and fun though he did go through a lot of the movie trying to scheme money from people. From all the pretty actors that I've liked this actor again made me see what real beauty and talent loo"
