The complexity of Patrick Bateman (and the style in which Bale portrays him) are what carry this film from beginning to end. The moments of vacillation between the perfect life and one out of control provide the perfect mask for "what happens next." I can't write much about this film without referencing the great scenes which carried it (the Paul Allen-Bateman interaction is excellent), but since I will do my best to avoid spoiler-status, it is a film that should be watched at least a second time to fully enjoy the evolving introduction to Patrick Bateman!

Let It Ride
(1989)
You're not going believe this...
22 January 2002
but this one is a classic. Its one of those movies that everyone you know either never heard of or makes fun of you for even bringing up. Let me tell you though, stranded on the island with only one movie available, I want it to be this uplifting film. It may not be my favorite, but I can easily watch it beginning to end and start it right over. The cast each grasped the characters to perfection, with one a better loser than the next! Looking for a little pick-me up, give Jay Trotter and Let It Ride one chance. Although you may still be embarrassed to mention you love it in front of your friends, I bet you will!
