Thông tin về bộ phim này

Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie, obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancee (Reese Witherspoon). He is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Based on the controversial novel, the film offers a sharp satire to the dark side of yuppie culture in the '80s, while setting forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.

Gruesome and twisted, this is actually satire on 1980s yuppy culture and the pursuit of all that entailed. If you're expecting a monster of the week flick or something akin to a Hannibal Lecter thriller, don't watch. If you want a dark, bizarre comedy that focuses on performance and wordplay over pratfalls and visual gags, give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Having read the book, christian bale nails this performance as Patrick Bateman & the character is spot on. It obviously lacks the amount of dialogue from the book but I still think it could have had an extra half hour running time. Excellent film all the same.

A good film with a good performance by Bale (the only film I enjoy watching him in) it isn't 100% to the book and it does mess the ending up but it is a solid, enjoyable film. I recommend reading the book
