Smooth and sophisticated Patrick Bateman is a true Wall Street success. A young, handsome, Harvard educated man almost seems to have the perfect life with fiancee Evelyn and his entourage of high powered friends, but his front is the calm before the storm. Behind his facade, his is a ruthless killer and the only thing that makes him more human is to take a life but when reality becomes fiction and back, even he isn't sure of what has happened.

This is a great movie and is truly brillian in all of its violence. The bloody mess that is Patrick Bateman's life is alot like an artist struggling to get his art work on the canvas so to speak.  You almost feel sorry for him by the end of the film because he has gotten into that world so deep he just wants out is all.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars
