Review by John Hoyles on 20th April 2001 Thank God for Mary Harron who dares to subvert Bret Ellis's macho fantasy of guns, girls and gore into the very black humour of another SCUM Manifesto for cutting up men who cut up women. Perhaps only the woman who gave us I Shot Andy Warhol could have taken on the task of turning the pornographic story of everyday Wall Street yuppiedom's trip down psychotic lane into a feminist film. Designerchic misogyny has never been so brilliantly sent up. Don't believe those male critics who argue this film is about 80s Reaganomics and therefore dated. It is about man-made language. There is no word for the opposite of misogyny or phallocrat. After all, how can anyone hate men? Luckily for us Mary Harron did not use Leonardo DiCaprio for her scary `hero' (he thought his fragrant image might suffer considerable financial loss). Instead she found Christian Bale (a Welshman to boot!). View more reviews by John Hoyles
