Summary:

A young, handsome man with a Harvard education and success on Wall Street has terrible urges that take him in pursuit of women, greed, and murder.

"Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie obsessed with success, status and style - with a stunning fiancéé (Reese Witherspoon). He is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Based on the controversial novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film offers and sharp satire to the dark side of yuppie culture in the 80's , while setting forth a vison that is both terrifying and chilling."--container notes.
