Alain E As a movie accused of nihilism the ideal approval rating should be 0%, so the 10% positive reviews it accumulated indicates failure. What it actually shows is, that it went way above the comprehension level of the audience. Strangely, the other movie based on a Bret Easton Ellis book American Psycho, which describes a character without any redeeming values except the ability to recognize the best in consumption goods, was universally praised. The main differences with the present movie is that the director then was female and the Christian Bale character mutilated dead women. In the present film the Mickey Rourke miscreant abducts a little boy in a foolish plan to ask for ransom, but eventually the child is set free. Maybe the reviews would be more positive if the child was murdered. The film describes the hedonistic society that is about to be upended by the emergence of AIDS. Cinematography is excellent with very good music and first class actors. But people want to watch realistic movies like the Avatar and Avengers sagas. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Stefanie S I love Brett Easton Ellis. I have read three of his novels, but honestly, I have never read a more disjointed book in my life. I have no idea how it even got published. The brutal murders of a child, the vampire vibe thing that makes no sense at all. I couldn't follow it for the life of me. the only chapter that had any heart at all was the college student who was coming back to L.A. from the east on a train. Each chapter of this book, you have to guess who is the protagonist speaking, what is happening and you're in the middle of the chapter before you even know who's speaking and what's happening. I'm surprised he would write this kind of junk. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Peter G A majorly misunderstood movie. A lovely dark and disturbing drama about the collapse of honest living. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Steve D An absolute despite the cast. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Audience Member A movie as pretentious and vapid as one of its leading actresses (Amber Heard), you know immediately that it won't be worth watching aside from an otherwise solid cast. This movie is nothing but a mishmash of noncohesive series of events that have no plot or character development. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Where does one begin, when it comes to a film that has no purpose? I kept wondering where all of this was going. Then suddenly the credits appeared. It’s as if it were only half of a movie. Truly awful. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/18 Full Review Read all reviews
