Roger Avary's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' dark and controversial novel about a group of amoral, and wealthy, East Coast college students. Sean (James Van der Beek) lusts after the unapproachable Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon); Lauren is seeing Victor (Kip Pardue), a handsome and egotistical ladies' man; Victor is also secretly seeing Lauren's room-mate Lara (Jessica Biel); Lauren's ex, Paul (Ian Somerhalder), has become smitten by Sean; and affable Rupert (Clifton Collins Jr.) has become the campus drug dealer, readily supplying his classmates with cocaine. Soon their lives move into a more serious gear as Sean finds himself dealing drugs in order to pay debts and encouraging Paul to become one of his customers. (Icon Home Entertainment)

Famous James Van Der Beek in the middle of a movie full of empty words. The sovereign unbelievably transforms into an emotional wreck and sharpens the edges of his cynical bon mots until they become inaudible phrases. When he finally repeats several sentences of his uninspired idol, he brings down even the last remnants of the pseudo-story into unwatchable waters. This attempt pretends to be something it can never be, and a completely unknown Ian Sommerhalder saves his waning second star.
