Review

A sick and fairly confusing film, this is what brought Christian Bale to my attention as a superb actor. In the film, one man becomes so disillusioned with the homogenised yuppie nightmare of a city that he lives in that he begins to commit depraved and horrifying sexual acts and murders. Debate rages whether these murders actually occur, or whether Bateman was merely imagining them all along.

Based on a book that I couldn't actually finish because of its mortifying and graphic scenes, the film does a good job of making the whole thing filmable. What is actually a sick and twisted plot is turned into a thoroughly entertaining film with some of the best casting you ever could have hoped for.

8/10
