i have never read any of bret easton elis book but apparently he write american psycho and that movie be very good . this one isn not . a capable but frankly d list cast plod their way through this dire script with little enthusiasm . for those that do not know apparently la or hollywood have a dark side to it and the inhabitant spend their time do drug and have casual sex ( i think they spend their time go to bible class and sing kumbaya with the smurfs ) . i suspect they realise early on it be a turkey and just do their job as quickly a possible . the late brad renfro be the best of the bunch . a few subplots intertwine ( badly ) and nothing of any consequence happen whatsoever . apparently the book be quite different and have vampire in it or something so god know what the screenwriter be think here because there no undead chomping on the lifeless actor face and although this actually would have make the movie vaguely interesting . i would tell you what happen and but frankly i do not really know myself because the whole thing be so disjointed . do i mention the script be awful . i do not know if the writer really suck or if the book be just rubbish but there be no story or point to anything that happen . a few people have speculate on some kind of aid be spread amongst the character sub plot and but there be no real evidence to base this on any more than there a sub text in teenwolf that predict the current global financial crisis . apparently in the book it make clear the girl that die at the end have cancer anyway and so this be probably just people look for something more to this film than there actually be . which wouldn not be hard . if you be involve in writing and produce or direct this movie please do not ever create anything for film ever again a you be terrible . thanks .
