Bret Easton Ellis' disturbing novel is brought to the screen by Mary
Harron. In 1987, twentysomething Wall Street broker Patrick Bateman
(Christian Bale) seems to have it all: he is handsome, successful and
engaged to the beautiful Evelyn (Reese Witherspoon). However, Patrick
is also engaged in an affair with Courtney Rawlinson (Samantha Mathis)
- his colleague's fiancée - and at night indulges in a confused orgy of
drugs, pornography, prostitution and murder fantasies. When Patrick is
outshone by a rival at a board meeting, he takes out his frustration by
knifing a man sleeping rough in the street. This sparks off a descent
into violence and madness, with Patrick embarking on a bloody and
random killing spree.
