Editorial Review:
Description:
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie, obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancee (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, 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.
Amazon.com essential video:
The Bret Easton Ellis novel American Psycho, a dark, violent satire of the "me" culture of Ronald Reagan's 1980s, is certainly one of the most controversial books of the '90s, and that notoriety fueled its bestseller status. This smart, savvy adaptation by Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol) may be able to ride the crest of the notoriety; prior to the film's release, Harron fought a ratings battle (ironically, for depictions of sex rather than violence), but at the time the director stated, "We're rescuing [the book] from its own bad reputation." Harron and co-screenwriter Guinevere Turner (Go Fish) overcome many of the objections of Ellis's novel by keeping the most extreme violence offscreen (sometimes just barely), suggesting the reign of terror of yuppie killer Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) with splashes of blood and personal souvenirs. Bale is razor sharp as the blank corporate drone, a preening tiger in designer suits whose speaking voice is part salesman, part self-help guru, and completely artificial. Carrying himself with the poised confidence of a male model, he spends his days in a numbing world of status-symbol one-upmanship and soul-sapping small talk, but breaks out at night with smirking explosions of homicide, accomplished with the fastidious care of a hopeless obsessive. The film's approach to this mayhem is simultaneously shocking and discreet; even Bateman's outrageous naked charge with a chainsaw is most notable for the impossibly polished and gleaming instrument of death. Harron's film is a hilarious, cheerfully insidious hall of mirrors all pointed inward, slowly cracking as the portrait becomes increasingly grotesque and insane. --Sean Axmaker

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 ... Read More

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.

This movie shows violence toward women, men and the narrow escape of a kitten from an ATM machine.
Ahhhhhhh! What can I say? Christian Bale is an incredible actor and his portrayal of Patrick Bateman in "American Psycho" is unforgettable. Bale's Patrick Bateman is drop-dead gorgeous, cut, successful, swaggering, demented, obsessed and, of course, p-s-y-c-h-o. And comedic in a very, very dark way. His livingroom scene with Jared Leto (his nemesis in the movie) is so disturbing ... Read More

This special edition of American Psycho was fantastic. For those of you who have read the book, you will find the screenplay version -- which captures all of the salient parts of the story -- of equal comparison. Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman, an extremely neurotic and obsessive 1980's yuppie, who "deals" with stress in a horrific (but darkly comedic) way. You'll never think of Huey Lewis or Phil Collins in the same way again.

American Pyscho was one of those films that makes a person laugh uncomfortably throughout and you just walked away feeling disgusted. That being said it was a film that is definitely an underrated masterpiece.
