Plot Summary
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie, obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancée (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.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: An uneven movie that nonetheless bristles with stinging wit and exerts a perverse fascination.
Fresh: It needs to be seen and appreciated, like a serpent in a glass cage.
Fresh: Harron's Psycho reps an impressive reclaiming of dubious material.
Rotten: Conceptually, this savage cartoon ends up as trapped in surfaces as its shallow antihero: it's all dressed up with nowhere to go.
Customer Reviews
Best movie ever.
The first time i've ever seen a movie almost as great as the book.
finally
This movie is great. It has a lot of dark humor in it. However, I wouldn't recomend it if you are easily offended (it has some graphic sex scenes and of course homicide). Eventhough Patrick Bateman kills a lot of people, I still found him completely sexy. Something must be wrong with me.
(One of the) Best Movies Ever Made!!!
This has got to be the best movie I ever seen. It's dark. It's violent. It's funny at times. It's somewhat haunting. It's phenomenal! I just love it. Christian Bale is awesome in it. It's just simply a really excellent move. It's my one of my top five favorite movies. I love the soundtrack for it. Huey Lewis, Phil Collins, what's not to love about the soundtrack. It was perfectly done. Don't just look at it, buy it right now at this very moment!!! And I mean right now!!!
