Reviews for Less Than Zero
Loosely based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero refuses to take the risks necessary to capture the keen social observation of the book.

Ed Lachman's cinematography is letter perfect as always in its handling of light and color (assisted here by Barbara Ling's flashy production design), but it's a pity to see it wasted on such claptrap.

Top CriticThe only saving grace of this exercise in futility is the suitably louche performance by Spader as drug-dealer Rip.

Perhaps this wasn't the best subject matter for British director Marek Kanievska (Another Country) to make his American debut. The feel for this distinctly Southern California story escapes him.

Has style to spare, but none of the novel's shock value

Bret Easton Ellis's novel is fairly faithfully into a portrait of strung out teenage yuppies in LA during the late 80s.

A startling tale of alienation and self-destruction. Put Downey on the map, at least for a while.
