Forget Batman, or Empire of the Sun or Shaft (You can forget that entirely), this is Christian Bales best performance. This, for me is one of the very best performances ever on screen. In a remarkable adaptation of the grisly novel, Director Mary Harron has turned this is into a satirical dark comedy, with Bale as the yuppie wall street part time serial killer. Bales performance is done almost entirely in the face, his blank expressions, his dead eyes, and his maniacal outbursts. The film is a gem, but if its not your ideal kind of film, at least watch it to see Bale prove himself to be one of the best actors in the business.
