One of a Kind Thriller

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2015)

American Psycho (2000) starring Christain Bale in one of his more prolific performances shows the true struggles are early greatness or his career. Bale portrays Patrick Bateman very well. He captures both the dashing confidence of Bateman's outer self and the nervous insecurity of the inner man. The wheels of Bateman's mind always seem to be turning, whether he's checking himself in the mirror or feeling stress about being found out.
Although it doesn't appear some way or within the outer complex, the production design is also very good. Gideon Food, clothes, furnishings, even early-model cell phones, all have the aura of excess and indulgence about them that is called for in this movie. American Psycho can still to the modern day be recognized as a great piece of film making. As a rewatch 09/28/19' American Psycho remains a quality thriller.
