Full Plot Details

It's the late 1980s. Twenty-seven year old Wall Streeter Patrick Bateman travels among a closed network of the proverbial beautiful people, that closed network in only they able to allow others like themselves in in a feeling of superiority. Patrick has a routinized morning regimen to maintain his appearance of attractiveness and fitness. He, like those in his network, are vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal and competitive, always having to one up everyone else in that presentation of oneself, but he, unlike the others, realizes that, for himself, all of these are masks to hide what is truly underneath, someone/something inhuman in nature. In other words, he is comprised of a shell resembling a human that contains only greed and disgust, greed in wanting what others may have, and disgust for those who do not meet his expectations and for himself in not being the first or the best. That disgust ends up manifesting itself in wanting to rid the world of those people, he not seeing them as people but only of those characteristics he wants to rid.

Movie Reviews

Cinemaphile.org - 10/10 by David KeyesAn incisive commentary about the emptiness and rapacity of important people.
Sacramento News & Review - 10/10 by Jim LaneHarron' s incisive eye and Bale' s bravura performance carry the day.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersMary Harron asks what's more unnerving - exaggerated, imagined violence or vacuous realities some wish to be real, psychosis as much in the construct as the character. Thus, "Psycho's" savagery goes beyond a simple screed against 1980s excess and greed.
Reel.com - 9/10 by Tor ThorsenAlthough it suffers from the same lack of focus that plagued the book, the result is bloody hilarious and occasionally brilliant.
TheMovieReport.com - 9/10 by Michael DequinaBale's achievement is in suggesting far more dimensions than his character would ever admit to having.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by David N. ButterworthChristian Bale is at the top of his game here.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Bob BloomI was pleasantly surprised, no, make that impressed, with Mary Harron's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' notorious novel.
TNT RoughCut - 9/10 by Don KayeAn ethereal, creepy, almost breathtaking meditation on the life of a mind snapped in two.
The Ringer - 9/10 by Sean FennesseyI've always found Mary Harron's vision of Bret Easton Ellis's arch satire of '80s greed, excess, and grooming to be a lot funnier than its reputation.
Horror.com - 9/10 by Staci Layne WilsonMary Harron and Christian Bale create an almost magical balance between the tragic and comic elements of this story.
