Suggested by melonius
In 1987, New York City investment banker Patrick Bateman leads a double life, meticulously maintaining a polished social façade while harboring dark impulses. By day, he dines at trendy restaurants, obsesses over his physical appearance, and navigates a shallow circle of wealthy associates he secretly despises, all while engaged to Evelyn Williams. His superficial world is epitomized during a business meeting where he and his colleagues flaunt their business cards, fixating on their designs while missing the misspelled "Aquisitions" on each. Enraged by the superiority of colleague Paul Allen's card, Bateman's suppressed rage erupts when he encounters a homeless man and his dog in an alley. Initially offering help, he instead insults and brutally kills them, revealing his violent tendencies.
