daveh28 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.
ultrasween 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
choggs Christian Bale's performance here is convincingly freaky and his music choices give him hints of empathy but the ending and the chainsaw sequence show us a man who lives in a maniacal fantasy where he is the all powerful demon. His cries for help will never be heard and he will be allowed to continue. Great movie.
Majikat In a material world, where everything can be bought and ego drives humans to be disconnected and competitive, where drugs no longer reach that high and human life has little value, the disguise is slipping and the hunger for the thrill is at it's peak. It's not a typical serial killer film, it's quirky, almost arty and is probably appreciated more on its second viewing.
