American Nightmare?

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2005)

I'm not sure I fully go for the whole 'yuppie-to-psycho' theme (maybe as a stretched-out satire, which was probably the intent) but I definitely find the movie pretty entertaining. Christian Bale is perfect as the psychotic Patrick Bateman and the film is filled to the brim with black humor, especially with some of the Patrick's inner monologues. The business card scene was just great! I skipped through the two commentaries and both seemed to be decent but I didn't really care for the featurettes much. They supplied some good information but something, maybe the presentation, maybe the people, just didn't work for me. Oh well, it was still a cool horror flick.
