 CHRISTIAN BALE IS HOLLYWOOD'S BEST RIGHT NOW October 4, 2008
Lou Almighty
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.

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!!! August 28, 2008

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!!!

American Psycho is a darkly hilarious indictment of 80s yuppie culture; an exploration of shallow hedonism and empty-headed materialism and the nihilistic desolation that these traits instil in the lead character. Christian Bale takes Patrick Bateman from tight-lipped obsession to wide-eyed mania with compellingly cheesy relish. His violent attempts to find meaning in an existence devoid of feeling are deftly handled and provide plenty of shocks without resorting to gratuitous gore. In truth we learn little of the inner workings of Bateman's mind but this darkly comic satire more than makes up for this shortcoming with its wry humour and razor-sharp performances.
Enjoyable, but lacking compared to the book August 13, 2008

My four star rating is solely attributable to Christian Bales portrayal of Patrick Bateman. He is Patrick Batman, albeit a watered down, more sane and less homicidal version. He deserves five stars in truth, but the script stopped this from occurring.
While Bale is a pleasure to watch, and the other stars fulfil their roles, I felt the script ignored the depths explored in the book, and in doing so, the end result was a rather shallow film remembered for a chainsaw scene.
I can understand that it would have been a difficult book to film, but the rearrangements forced on the plot to push it to screen entirely changed the message at the core of the book.
Overall, not a bad film, but in light of reading the book - it's enjoyment is seriously reduced.
