American Psycho is a movie with a twist.

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2015)

The movie "American Psycho" is a manic tale of a businessman who is trying to further himself in his position. Patrick Bateman, The American Psycho, is a man who is seemingly descending further into madness. As the story progresses, Patrick progressively commits acts of murder and other heinous acts as he slowly kills more and more prominent figures, from a distraught and suffering homeless man to a fellow business partner that would obviously be noticed if they went missing. His madness intensifies to the point that he went on a psychotic rampage, even to the point of trying to shove a cat into a ATM machine. The characters in the movie besides the main character all show the consistent greed and selfish attitude that's common for the businessmen Patrick was surrounded by. Patrick was shown to not fit in as well, joking about grotesque things that unsettled most people or just talking about murder lightly. Patrick Bateman was shown to have a blatant disregard for the feelings and opinions of others in matters he felt he knew best which happened to be most things, even going as far as murdering some for their ignorance. The movie shows an intense spiral into madness but also an interesting side to the movie when at the end of the movie ,it shows that he might have just imagined the events of the movie or perhaps fantasized them when the coworker he killed in his apartment with an axe was shown to be alive and coming back from a business trip. This twist and how it's presented leaves me with the feeling that this movie deserves a 9/10. My only few gripes with the movie is that it doesn't show his coworker alive again to solidify his existence or survival. It also doesn't show who Patrick truly killed or if he killed anyone at all during that scene or otherwise.
