Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancé (Reese Witherspoon). He is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Based on the controversial novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film offers a sharp satire to the dark side of yuppie culture in the ‘80s, while setting forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.

Horrible Horrible Movie , November, 27, 2008

This movie was terrible. Barely a plot, horrible acting. I don't know what all the humdrum was about. I hated it.

 

My Review of American Psycho , November, 10, 2008


I went into purchasing this film, feeling a tad uneasy of what I would be viewing. I didn't know whether I'd be seeing a horror movie or a satire and a comedy.

To my utter delight. It was a mixture of all three listed items. It was a horror in all of its fantasmic images, but it was also satirical. I laughed at several parts of the movie and cringed when I knew another death was coming! If you see it, you'll know what I mean. And of course the film is explicit, graphic in its sexual presentation. But that's only to further emphasize how utterly lost and dominant that man has truly become. For instance, he can't even handle the fact that another man 'has' a better business card than him. You can see it each time on his face.

There was another thing that got me. The man is crying out for help, crying out to be heard in all of the insanity that he's either brought on other people, but also, himself.

I've watched this movie once, but I will be watching it again, and again, and again...This coming from someone who vowed never to see it because of its alleged contents! It's a very cool movie.

Fact is, I only got this movie because Christian Bale was in it and I've been collecting his other movies since The Dark Knight.

But the man can act!

Oh! The ending. Well, that's just something that you'll have to sort out for yourself (not giving anything away, grins). But it's definitely something to see (you must rent or buy this movie!).

Again, I hope that this review was informative, coming from someone who really had no intention of viewing this movie at all.

Go out!

Buy it!

And enjoy it!

And then watch it again!

You'll be glad you did!

 

Rubbish , October, 26, 2008

Very simplistic and cliche "ooooh, he's so evil" screenplay, and Bale gives yet another stiff performance, with the same frown and pursed lips as in every other film he's done. Maybe he should do Metal Gear Solid; The Movie with that tough-guy frown.
