American Psycho
American Psycho:
Character development:
Patrick Bateman is a fine working man, who is a part of the company Pierce and Pierce. Bateman is what you would call a yuppie, a person who has a lot of money to use, one who really thinks of what he is wearing. It has to be the best of the best.
