Reaction: So close! While it grossed nearly three times as much as the original, it cost seven times more - even with fairly minimal talent costs. It definitely would have been nice had it found more of an audience on domestic home video - where its numbers were abysmal.
"While not all of the songs are particularly catchy, the film's cold, sleek design and the talented cast's performances make up for that and any other shortcomings in Goold's film." - Eli McCown, NJ.com
"The musical definitely loses something in its execution. Walker nails his performance, but the rest of the film is a dud." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
"The film is anchored by a tour-de-force, star-is-born performance from Benjamin Walker, whose Patrick Bateman is much more human and endearing than either Christian Bale's smirky performance in 2000, or in Bret Easton Ellis' original novel." - Josh Manning, NY Daily News
