One of the few movies I've ever seen that may in fact be better than the book. Bale does a superb job as the alienated Patrick Bateman, though I did think DaFoe as the private detective and Reese Witherspoon as his "fiance" wereoddly unconvincing, whoever they got to act the "friends" of Bateman nailed the whole superficial Manhattan in the '80s thing.

Admittedly not for everybody. Disturbing but also thought provoking.

A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
