 - review,reviewSuper good very scary and confusing. I would suggest this movies to anyone, the actor is great, and you are both attracted and scared by him. Rating: - American PsychoAmerican Psycho is one of those few movies I wish desperately that I had seen in the theater. This was the film that showed me what Christian Bale is capable of. If you enjoy his performance in the Batman movies, this is where it all comes and stems from. Bale has always been great at getting inside of the character and showing what the character is made of. The book that the movie was based on was meant to be a commentary on the 1980's. The arrogance, hubris, and lack of empathy that the business world felt to the smaller man. The lead protagonist, Patrick Bateman (played by Bale), is a yuppie turned serial killer. He causing pain and suffering in different levels (real and imagined) to those around him. It's a brilliant dark comedy (though I'm sure my grandparents wouldn't find it the least bit funny). American Psycho roles out and in the end you don't know what is true, what is is imagined, and what is a lie. Did the whole film happen in his head? Was there a cover-up? Should he have fed the ATM the kitten? All in all it was a fun romp. I've owned it on VHS and DVD, and I'll probably upgrade to Blu-Ray if I ever manage to bring myself to go all next gen. I'd write more, but I have some videos I need to return. Rating:  - As ifAs if this film needed to be released in an un-cut format. NOTHING was cut from the first, if you've seen it's bloody run. This film attempts to be satirical, but the violence is so pointless, (Unlike "Kill Bill"), that the viewer is just left out looking for the nearest toilet. I'm a horro fan, this film is NOT of this genre. Trash, total trash. Rating: - Do you like Phil Collins?Absolutely one of my favorite movies. A satire of the yuppie culture and life in the 80's, American Psycho is a cross between a comedy and a horror movie. There are so many cold, icy, lines that will make you laugh, but there is also the psychotic killer aspect that makes you feel guilty for even liking the movie. A real thinking movie, you will probably have to watch it twice, but you won't mind. And you'll never think of Phil Collins' "Sussudio" the same. Great, great movie. Personal favorite. Rating: - classicGreat Movie. Not sure if it's out on blue-ray, but i would recommend that over the DVD definitely. Classic.
