　　Bret Easton Ellis's tongue-in-cheek thriller about a serial killer became instantly infamous for its shocking violence and gratuitous sex. Critics vilified the novel for depictions of unspeakable depravity. But the book's main flaw was it's sloppy ambiguity— is Patrick Bateman an actual madman or some feverish delusion? Director Mary Harron offered a solution in her smart, stylish, and chilling movie adaptation—she directly tells us who Patrick Bateman is, crafting an alternately terrifying and hilarious satire of machismo and impotence.

　　小说家布雷特-伊斯顿-埃利斯笔下那个连环杀手因令人瞠目结舌的罪行与追求变态快感而臭名远名扬， 评论家称这部作品为描述无法启齿的罪恶与堕落的佳作。但原着却在交代主人翁身份上含糊不清，他到底是个疯子还是臆想狂？导演玛丽-哈伦在这部机智狡黠、风格迥异、令人毛骨悚然的电影中给出了答案。男主角帕特里克-巴特曼是一个恐怖与滑稽，大男子主义与唯诺孱弱交加的矛盾体。
