The business card scene is the best!

Christian Bale is excellent as Patrick Bateman (Batman lol), a Wall Street executive with an extremely dark side, he is a cold-blooded murderer.

Much of the film sees Bateman juggling his two separate lives, and how has has to have everything just so, and loses it if everything doesn''t go his way. He really loves 80s music and explains the nuances of his favorite artists in way too much detail.

The ending is ambiguous, but that is all right here as it leaves you wondering what actually happened and what was in his mind and was he really just going crazy or dreaming.

Some very graphic scenes are not for the squeamish and I'll never like the song "Hip to be Square" the same way again.

Comic value, unusual casting and characters. (0 more)

Awkward and a little corny to start with but the story unfolds nicely once it gets going. (0 more)

Much better than expected.

I saw this film as a recommendation from a family member and for the first fifteen mins I wondered if I would regret it. It was a little awkward and corny to start with and the stereotyping did grate a little. However once the film progressed the humour worked well with the story line and I started to enjoy it. The characters each lent the film different qualities and it was a completely different spin on the story compared to the original film.
I wouldnt recommend for some younger viewers due to some innuendo and kinda sexualised scenes (nothing graphic but references are there).
Overall a good, casual movie.

Cassandra Dark

This is not just entertainment this is a savvy social statement. Not only that but it's got a hidden meaning of one person you don't discover until the last page. That person will remain with me forever because I know there are hundreds of her out there today. I want to do something to help her and I wish there was something in the back that tells me how I can. Despite all that I imagine this being shown in ITV as one of their gripping well plotted crime dramas. It's just absolute perfection in plot and character and deserves to be remembered as a masterpiece. Now I am going to Google charities and fund out what I can do.

This is definitely not a read for people who have a delicate stomach or are repulsed by graphic and descriptive reads.

I myself loved the fact that this book really turned my stomach and the horrific story line blew away all rational thinking. This author found the darkest recesses of his mind and invited us in for an exclusive look.

My only con with Frank Made Lunch is that it is in need of editing but even that didn't stop me from giving it the rating that I felt it deserved.

This is the BEST horror book I've read this year and trust me...... you WANT to read this. I HIGHLY recommend you read this book and would love this made into a movie. I'll end this review by saying that Frank will remain inside my mind for many years to come.
