Synopsis
Based on the popular novel by Bret Easton Ellis, Mary Harron's cinematic adaptation retains the over-the-top humor that made Ellis' book such a cult favorite. Christian Bale is hysterical as Patrick Bateman, the successful commodities broker whose disgust for everyone he encounters leads him to committing heinous murders. The film tackles all things 80s, including pop music, fashion, and the world of big business, all to hilarious effect. Graphic and brutal, AMERICAN PSYCHO is an unflinching satire, but one that should keep enlightened audiences laughing throughout.

Customer Reviews

CHRISTIAN BALE IS HOLLYWOOD'S BEST RIGHT NOW
AMERICAN PSYCHO is not your typical serial killer movie. If you are looking for a shlasher film full of blood, gore and guts, you'll be ultimately disappointed. If you are looking for a witty, satirical thriller, with Hollywood's currently most promising actor, this one'll be right up your alley. No one could have portrayed Bret Easton Ellis' serial killer better than Bale. No one could have directed this film better than Mary Harron. Make all Fridays and Maniacs look like crap.

"Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now..."
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Okay, there will be people who won't 'get' this film, but it's one of the best films ever made, and just gets better every time you watch it. Bale, for me, is the best actor of his generation. He is amazing as Bateman, and nails (no pun intended - okay maybe it was a bit) the role perfectly. This is a brilliant satire, and if you've hung around round Wall Street or the City of London, then you'll know people like him. I'm off to get some new business cards right now...

Bale has it perfect here!!!
Once in a while you can watch a film were the leading actor carries the whole film! Bale's portrayal of a mid twenties psychopath who is addicted to pornography and has OCD is the main reason why this is such a good film! Buy it and you'll laugh out loud at the blunt arrogance and deranged world of Patrick Baitman!!!!!! Dare you miss it?? Not if you want to keep your spleem!!!
