That rare thing - a film that's better than the book.

I agree, what a great movie. Besides Batman Begins, this is the DEFINITIVE Christian Bale flick. Highly recommended.

Yes, a good cult film. Would appeal to fans of Fight Club. I'd like to read the book, though.

WHAT?! are you sure read the book? i mean besides the book being half its size due to descriptions of everyones clothes it was a friggen great book and upsets me at times to see certain things left out from the movie ... especially the Godiva chocolate covered urinal cake.

You can never fit everything from a novel into a movie (unless it's a very short book), otherwise the movie would have to be 2 or 3 times as long in most cases, and people aren't going to sit through that.

Don't get me wrong, the book is great - like the rats scene - but it's a bit flabby in places and the gratuity gets a bit self-indulgent; the film is more economical, and better explains the plot. The business card scene is modern cinema classic.

Not sure about if the movie is better than the book, but I believe this is probably a good adaptation of such a difficult book, maybe it lacks a bit the irony of the book.

You can make an exercise, read American Psycho, except the gore parts and you can see how Patrick Bateman, the main character is a pathetic loser in his world.

The first Ellis' book, Less than Zero was made into a real bad film.
