Dark, brooding, disgusting, and boasting of an ending that will leave you feeling empty. The progression of Patrick Bateman was well done and the juxtaposition of the monotony of fashion and the brutal depictions of torture and death was very well done. The killing scenes felt more visceral and impactful because of the utter lack of intriguing story telling pre and post murder. This is not one for the faint of heart.
