content: This is one of those movies which does not only convey a story, but an atmosphere much like Fight Club, and the Matrix to an extent. The humour is not obvious; Bateman finds the shade of white on his business card more important than slaughtering coworkers. Some people's reviews have given this film a low rating because 'the film doesn't give them any deep spiritual enlightenment' or 'There's nothing here that an intelligent person who has barely scrutinised the 80s can't get, and there's no reason to sit through almost two hours of tripe to get to it'. Lighten up, it's a film, it is meant to be entertainment not a social economics lecture. I would file this DVD between Fight Club and Phil Collins Live. It is probably best viewed for the second time as the humour relies on knowledge of the story/character. In my opinion this is in my top 5 films.
