A brilliant psychological thriller based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. One of the taglines for the film goes, "Evil never looked so damn good." Patrick Bateman is the good-looking homicidal maniac who works on the floor of the the New York stock exchange. He is also a caricature of the extremely soulless yuppy culture thriving on material obsession. Soulful actor Christian Bale gives a tour de force performance as the soulless Patrick Bateman.
