Summary: Complete piece of crap
Review: Utterly horrible movie with no logical plot or progression. The acting is laughable with Patrick talking in the same tone of voice during the entire movie. The writing is childish with some of the most hilariuosly bad scenes I have ever seen. The ending was the final draw in an already bad movie. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS FILM!

Summary: a dark, funny movie
Review: Right from the opening credits, when you see what you think is blood, but it turns out to be something else, you know you are in for a weird and wild trip. This movie satires society in how some of us have become so preoccupied with being wealthy having the best of everything. Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman, a wallstreet suit whose life is the material world. He is a self-loving, materialistic s.o.b. who has a little hobby on the side. He loves to kill people. Some may find the acting dull, but the character of Bateman is just that. He lives his life like it is a movie and he is just merely going along for the ride. Those that get in his way just end up being killed, violently(the violence is shown off screen). Bateman has absolutely no human emotions such as joy and pain. The ending of the movie will surprise the viewers and really make them wonder what actually happened and what Bateman just imagined. It gets trippy and weird. I just wish the dvd had a commentary track as to explain what the hell was really going on. Still, the movie delivers its message across to the those with an open mind. American Psycho truly satires the upperclass of the late 80s with a murderous twist. People make reservations in restaurants just cause they can, not cause they're hungry. They snort coke, use prostitutes, and compare the type of paper and the fonts of their business cards. When they're at work, they seem at the top of their game. Once at home, they're rather dull. There are some truly laugh out loud moments in this movie if you have a twisted mind. I found myself laughing and shaking my head at some of the murders and the predicaments Bateman and his colleagues get into. If one is looking for a unique, twisted, and funny movie, check out American Pyscho.

Summary: A little too soft for it's own good, but good nonetheless
Review: First of all, it's virtually impossible to recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't read the book. It's incredibly complicated material and if you're in any way literal minded, or prefer the easy sitcom type entertainment of most commercial film you just won't get it. While I agree with Harron's choice to make the movie more violent than not, I believe she misses the boat quite blatantly by inferring increasingly toward the end of the picture that Bateman is really just cracking up, not a complete homicidal maniac. This is due mostly to the script which plays as rigid satire up to the last third, when Bateman goes from a sterile psychotic rigidness abruptly to a quivering, sobbing mess. It's just not plausible given he shows no signs of losing control to that point. Did he suddenly realize he was a nut case? Not likely. To imply that would imply he had a conscience, and anyone who knows the Bateman of the book knows that's not a possibility. Even though I'm sure it's not, it ultimately playd as something of a cop-out. Still, it's of the best adaptations that could have been performed, given the material. I honestly didn't think it could be pulled off at all...tough balancing act.

Summary: Brilliant piece of art...
Review: I don't know what the guy who said it deserved 0 stars was talking about. This movie does a great job of taking a book that was half satire on the late 80s and a horror film, and making it completely serious but still making you laugh sometimes due to the seriousness of the charecter (but not in a bad way). It makes you wonder about those people who appear perfect in every way, but could really be a mass murderer.

Summary: Total pile of garbage
Review: Gosh, what hype over a complete pile of garbage. If it was supposed to be "disturbing and dark," the director needs to get over himself. David Lynch films, which are highly criticized at Amazon, are dark and disturbing. This looks like something a hormonal 14 year old would put together. The acting was terrible, except for the one shining moment of Reese Witherspoon's portrayal of Evelyn. Oh, and for the comment on those "people that expected it to be like SCREAM or something"-- I despise Scream and those teeny bopper movies and this movie did NOTHING for me. It seems as if it were some sort of "message movie" to warn against the dangers of capitalism. The soundtrack was pretty good, but the problem is the best songs are not on the soundtrack. Do yourself a favor, do not waste your money or time watching this film.

Summary: My Film Listserv Was Right In Recommending This
Review: I was unable to make it beyond 50 pages in the incredibly grisly novel version of "American Psycho" written by Ellis. However, my film group assured me that the movie version was an utter transformation of the novel and Christian Bale, as the lead, a major acting discovery. The group was right. Rewritten with black humor at its core, this tale of the consummate yuppie of the 1980s, who is also a serial killer, held me spellbound, when I wasn't LOL. Bale is also interviewed on the DVD version and you can barely tell he is the same person as the character he plays, Patrick Bateman. This is not a mad-slasher film like "Nightmare On Elm Street". So if you are looking for that kind of film, this will not fit the bill. This is an exploration of the dark underside of a Harvard educated, privileged young CEO and his cohorts on Wall Street and the "horror" is how right the film feels. There is the issue raised of how real Bateman's murders are versus a complete breakdown of his psyche taking place instead. However, this becomes one of the interesting points to debate after seeing this film and is not easily answered. I'm keeping my eye peeled for the next film Christian Bale makes as he is an actor who could do marvelous work in the years ahead.

Summary: Strange and chilling
Review: My sister wanted to see this movie-I didn't. It was not what I expected. I normally like movies that make you think and are not main stream, but this movie sent chills up my spine. Patrick was a pig, plain and simple. He was a self centered, egotistical man who cared nothing of the people around him. I believe he lived in a dark fantasy world dreaming up that he killed all these people without anyone noticing. I don't think he fully understood how much the people he worked with and were so called friends with were laughing at him. The major problem with this movie is that there are people out there just like Patrick. This movie makes their fantasy a reality.
