Patrick Bateman is a 27-year-old investment
banker in a wall street firm of Pierce & Pierce.
[28]
He is a rich and successful man in people’s
eyes. But Bateman hides a big secret about
[33]
his life. The movie starts when we see him
and his associates in a fancy restaurant.
[38]
They are talking about their co-worker Paul
Allen who happens to be dining a few tables
[42]
away. When the bill arrives, all of them flaunt
their business cards and call the $570 bill
[47]
reasonable. The group then leaves for a club.
The following day we see Patrick in his lavish
[52]
apartment. He narrates his life to us. According
to him, he likes to take care of himself by
[57]
eating nutritious food and exercising regularly.
Patrick also explains his morning routine
[62]
in detail. He likes to use various beauty
products to keep himself young and fresh.
[67]
That day, Patrick goes to his office, and
after dismissing most of his appointments,
[71]
he tells his assistant to wear a dress and
heels to the office. At night, Patrick and
[75]
his fiance, Evelyn, are in a restaurant with
their friends. He assumes that Evelyn is having
[80]
an affair with a guy named Timothy Bryce.
But he doesn’t care because he is also having
[85]
an affair with Evelyn’s best friend, Courtney
Rawlinson. Courtney is engaged to one of Paul’s
[89]
coworkers, Luis.
[90]
Later, he calls Courtney and convinces her
to go out to dinner with him. She is high
[95]
on drugs, so he orders the food for her. The
next morning Patrick is in the conference
[99]
room of his office. Paul Allen, his co-worker,
mistakes him for a person named Marcus, but
[103]
Patrick goes along with it. After Allen leaves,
Patrick shows off his business card to his
[108]
colleagues. The group starts comparing it
to their own. Patrick’s card is the best
[111]
in the lot until one of his colleagues shows
them Allen’s. He is petrified to see Allen’s
[116]
card better than his.
[118]
On his way back home, he comes across a homeless
man and offers him money. As they are talking,
[123]
he takes a knife out of his briefcase and
stabs the man. He also kills the dog beside
[127]
him. Beneath his lavish and successful life,
Patrick Bateman is a serial killer. He has
[133]
no emotions except for greed, and his mask
of insanity is about to slip. He meets Allen
[139]
again at Evelyn’s Christmas party. He still
thinks Patrick is Marcus. They plan to meet
[143]
at a restaurant for dinner the following day.
Allen is already at the restaurant when Patrick
[147]
arrives. They talk as Allen gets progressively
drunk. He also calls Patrick a dork, thinking
[152]
he is talking to Marcus. After dinner, they
leave for Packris’s apartment. While Allen
[156]
sits on the couch, Patrick prepares to kill
him, but he is too drunk to understand. He
[161]
plays the song “Hip to be square,” brings
out a mirror-polished ax, and kills Allen
[166]
with it. Blood splatters everywhere as he
hits him with his ax several times.
[171]
Patrick then sits down to smoke a cigar casually
in front of Allen’s corpse. He wraps the
[175]
corpse in an overnight bag and drags it outside.
He meets an old friend on his way, but without
[180]
losing his cool, he dismisses them. Patrick
takes Allen’s body to his apartment. His
[184]
plan is to fake Allen going on a trip, so
no one thinks his absence is suspicious. To
[188]
pose this, he packs some of Allen’s clothes
and leaves a message that says he is on a
[192]
business trip to London on the answering machine.
[195]
Patrick is in his office the following day
when detective Donald Kimball comes to interview
[199]
him about Allen’s disappearance. Later,
Patrick brings two prostitutes, Christine
[204]
and Sabrina, to his apartment and has sex
with them. Late at night, they ask him if
[207]
they can leave, but he has other plans. He
takes out several knives and weapons to harm
[211]
their body. This arouses him sexually. The
girls leave in the morning with several injuries.
[217]
Patrick is hanging out with his friends in
a bar when Courtney’s boyfriend Luis shows
[221]
them his new business card. It is better than
Patrick’s as well. This angers him, so he
[225]
goes after him into the bathroom and tries
to strangle him to death. But as Luis notices
[229]
him, he mistakes the gesture as a sexual advance
and tells Patrick that he has always loved
[234]
him. This surprises Patrick, so he quickly
leaves the restaurant.
[238]
Detective Kimball is at Patrick’s office
the next day. He asks him several questions
[242]
about his last meeting with Allen. They decide
to meet for lunch in a week. That night he
[246]
is at Courtney's place. She seems distressed,
but he doesn’t notice it. Later, he does
[250]
drugs at a club with his associates. The following
day, he invites his assistant Jean to dinner
[255]
and asks her where she wants to go. Jean answers
Dorsia but is ready to go anywhere he takes
[259]
her. Patrick calls Dorsia and pretends to
book a table. He asks her to meet him at his
[264]
apartment at seven for drinks. Jean agrees.
At night, they meet at his place. While they
[269]
are talking, he points at her with a nail
gun from behind. But she doesn't notice. Just
[273]
then, he gets a voice message from Evelyn.
Jean realizes that Evelyn and Patrick are
[277]
still engaged, so she asks him if she should
leave. Patrick agrees and tells her that something
[282]
terrible might happen to her if she stays.
[284]
The next day, he meets detective Donald for
lunch. The detective tells him that there
[288]
were no suspects, so the case is called off.
Relieved, he goes to pick up the prostitute
[292]
Christine again. She refuses to come because
she had to go to the ER last time, but Patrick
[296]
convinces her with money. He also invites
another girl named Elizabeth. He takes them
[301]
both to Allen’s apartment instead of his.
He drugs the girls’ wine and convinces them
[304]
to have sex. While they are at it, Christine
notices him trying to kill Elizabeth and makes
[309]
a run for it. She tries to escape but comes
across several dead bodies of girls hidden
[313]
in different parts of the house. Now, Christine
is terrified. Patrick comes after her with
[318]
a chainsaw. As she falls, he bites her legs
like a maniac. She somehow manages to run
[323]
out of the room. A naked and bloodied Patrick
chases her with a chainsaw. She runs down
[328]
the stairs, and when Partick feels like he
cannot reach her in time, he drops the chainsaw
[332]
on her, killing her instantly.
[334]
The following day, Patrick is with Evelyn
in a restaurant, where he breaks off their
[338]
engagement. On his way back home, he uses
an ATM and sees a cat in the street beside
[342]
it. Taking his gun out, he is about to shoot
it when an old lady stops him. So, instead
[346]
of the cat, he shoots her. However, this time,
the police are around. Patrick tries to flee
[351]
from the scene but is stopped by the police.
This causes them to get in a shootout. He
[355]
blows up the police car killing all of the
policemen, and quickly runs away but enters
[360]
the wrong building. When he notices his mistake,
he kills the building receptionist and, on
[364]
his way out, kills a janitor too.
[366]
He then runs to an office that he believes
is his. A police helicopter is looking for
[370]
him outside. Frantically, he calls his lawyer
Harold Carnes and leaves a message on Harold’s
[375]
answering machine. In the message, he confesses
his crime and reveals that he has killed almost
[379]
forty people, including several hookers, homeless
people, his old girlfriend, and others. He
[384]
has eaten some of their brains as well. Most
of his murders are documented in tapes. Patrick
[389]
also tells him to meet him at Harry’s bar.
[392]
The next day, he goes to Allen’s apartment
again to find it completely clean and empty.
[396]
A real estate agent is in the apartment who
tells him that it doesn't belong to Paul Allen
[401]
and asks him to leave. He goes downstairs
and calls Jean from a telephone booth. She
[405]
notices the franticness in his voice, but
he dismisses her and tells her he won't be
[409]
at the office this afternoon. Jean gets suspicious
of him, so she goes through his drawers and
[413]
finds his journal. Meanwhile, Patrick goes
to a restaurant with his friends again, where
[417]
he finds lawyer Harold. He goes to him to
talk about his confession from last night.
[422]
However, Harold mistakes him for another friend
and thinks his confession is a joke. Patrick
[426]
desperately tries to make him believe that
he killed Paul Allen, but Harold refuses and
[430]
tells him that he had dinner with Allen in
London just days ago.
[433]
On the other hand, a horrified Jean finds
detailed drawings of Patrick’s crimes in
[437]
his journal. After talking to Harold, a confused
Patrick goes back to his friends and continues
[442]
chatting. The movie ends as Patrick’s voiceover
tells us that he did not get the punishment
[447]
that he was secretly hoping for. His confession
to the lawyer had made him feel better, but
[451]
now, that too was meaningless.
