A lesson in why men’s mental health (and mental health in general) is important and should be discussed more

William Shavkey

Really good but too weird at points and lacks a genuine meaning

It’s one of the best character studies as well as satirical movies and it’s grimly hilarious

Great film ruined by people not understanding Patrick isn't a role model and is suppose to suck

Christian Bale takes you on a chilling ride through the mind of a narcissistic and psychopathic man, looking to inflict his pain on others.

Fantastic performance by Bale, and really gives Bateman’s character life. Cult classic film !

Patrick Bateman is the almighty Sigma Male

Philip Marinucci

Mary Harron’s direction is flawless, giving us an intense thriller, helmed by an iconic performance delivered by Bale.

Great horror satire. Christian Bale is phenomenal. Good story, great characters and the level of comedy and horror are superb.

Superficiality, bloodlust, and a tinge of dark comedy all collide in Christian Bale’s portrayal of Wall Street psychopath Patrick Bateman.
