Summary: Sharp
Review: I've read the book and the seen the film and they are of equal calibur. Harron and Turner's screenplay is very faithful aswell as well adapted. Many have described Patrick Bateman(Christian Bale) as too shallow and pathetic, and they are 100% correct and this is the premise of the story (or lack of it).
Patrick Bateman's indifference to the mayhem and violence he inflicts is far more brutal and shocking than the acts themselves, yet in equal amounts, it's extremely funny. The film can be enjoyed the 50th time as much as the first unlike many psychological movies. I liken it to Taxi Driver where society had become so unconnected that killing other fellow humans has no meaning.Bale's performance is extraordinary and is entirely convincing. Dafoe's appearance is also delightful. The DVD film transfar is very good quality with just a few scratches on the opening credits and the music and sound are very professional and are reference quality as far as Dolby Digital goes.

Summary: It was ok
Review: I have seen better, I was hoping it would be more exciting. It just had a guy that was so vain, it made the movie pathetic.

Summary: EERILY WEIRD, BUT.....
Review: I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH THIS FILM BUT NOTHING MORE THAN A MARGINAL RECOMMENDATION JUST FOR THE SAVAGELY HUMOUR IT PROJECTED. ALTHOUGH I DON'T MUCH BUY INTO THE SEX SCENES MYSELF BUT IT WASN'T ANYTHING LIKE DAVID CRONENBERG'S CRASH, THE MOST TRASHIEST, AND DISGUSTING FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE SCRIPT WAS KIND OF WELL WRITTEN IN A SCRUFFY WAY AND LIKE I SAID IT WAS SAVAGELY HILARIOUS WITH SOME GREAT LINES IN IT.

Summary: A Delicious Film
Review: There's alot to say about this terrific movie, but I can almost sum it up in 2 words: CHRISTIAN BALE ! What an amazing performance from a little known actor (from England of all places). This movie takes you on a whirlwind ride through the mind of Patrick Bateman, and what a ride it is. From the beginning of the film, you become immediately drawn to this guy, he is strangely likeable, despite his many excesses (including of course, murder). And the greed, lust and eccenticity of the Reagan 80's are well represented here, in hilarious form. The highlights of which are the Business Card scene, Bateman's musical critiques, his being "on the verge of tears" because he was sure that he would not have a good table while entering a restaurant w/ his fiance, and of course...the murder of Paul Allen....I could go on and on. To be perfectly honest, I don't know what to make of the ending, but by then I didn't care. This was a great film, fully worthy of 5 stars.

Summary: Great movie, very wierd
Review: American Psycho is an awesome movie, no matter what anyone may say. It is hard to understand, and the plot is all twisted up, but still a good movie. I still don't understand the ending of it, but the movie is still worth watching and trying to understand anyway. Christian Bale does an awesome job as the main character Patrick Bateman. Definetly a very controversial movie, but overall it is a very good movie to watch.

Summary: Incredible movie for someone who appreciates movies
Review: If you have read the book you will understand how great this movie really is. Christian Bale captures the character of Pat Bateman so well its remarkable. If you say this movie is bad it's because you don't understand it. Really get an indepth look in the movie if you combine it with some of nature's finest.

Summary: Watchable camp 80s satire
Review: If American Psycho took itself seriously as a social commentary on the morally bankrupt capitalist culture of the late 80s, it would [disappoint]. Billions of movies have done that theme to death, often with better results (notably Wall Street). Where American Psycho succeeds is in its ability to recognize that it is, ultimately, a cult/camp film. I think you realize this most during the classic "business card" scene in which Patrick Bateman and his carbon copy clones exchange new cards which all looked pretty much the same to me. Not so for Patrick, who feels dizzy (a whoosh is heard on the soundtrack - glee!) everytime somebody pulls out a more delicate sans serif font or a higher quality textured vellum card. And I mean, there's a scene where Christian Bale is running naked with a chainsaw and blood around his mouth. Obviously serious satire is not intended. Bale knows this and camps it up classic style - he's pretty easy on the eyes, too, and we get to see him both naked AND in a business suit - be still, my heart - Chloe Sevigny at first looks like she walked into the wrong movie but redeems herself later as Bale's "conscience" without being too much of a drag on the story. Reese Witherspoon is here but really has nothing to do as Patrick's girlfriend. Definitely enjoyable for the over-the-top goofiness of it all.

Summary: Yawn
Review: American Psycho is a dull, uninspired movie. A twenty-something upper-class white guy leads an empty, spiritually bankrupt life. Ho-hum. I've seen that motif in countless other movies, and American Psycho offers no new spin on the theme, save the fact that he gets his kicks out of mutilating and murdering people. In the end, the viewer discovers that none of the murders were even real, merely figments of a warped imagination. It is, however, a mildly amusing movie, has some excellent photography, and Christian Bale does an ok job portraying the main character. But, like the vapid and soulless lifestyle it purports to criticize, American Psycho dances around the same tired and superficial images, content with just looking stylish without tackling anything substantial. It is a frustrating movie because it so desparately wants to be a biting satire, a work of art, and comes pretty close in a few scenes. But true satirical art must be fresh, original, and sustained, not merely stylish and half-hearted. N.B.: the opening credits montage is very well-done and clever, and worthwhile viewing on its own, if you have the will power to stop it once it's finished.

Summary: Great adaptation.....
Review: This is really quite an amusing movie. My favorite scenes were the axe-murder to the tune of "Hip To Be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News, and the business card scene. Truly hilarious. The highlight of the film was Christian Bale's portrayal of Patrick Bateman- brilliant!! If you thought the ending was insufficient, then you need to either watch the film again or read the book, because you're wrong. All in all, brilliant dark humor.

Summary: Never laughed so hard.
Review: This movie had me in tears from start to finish. And get this: I'm not a pervert, not a sadist, and not even all that psychotic. I just couldn't get enough of the twisted-yet-lucid logic of Patrick Bateman: super-psycho-mass-murdering/GQ-mergering-aquisitiong-yuppie-SCUM. If you love to hate the eighties, you'll eat this one up.
