Being crazy has never looked so cool.

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2005)

American Psycho (2000) was a remarkable film. Not only did Christian Bale do a fantastic job at mimicking Tom Cruise and re-inventing him as an eighties psycho yuppie, but it launched the unmanly metro-sexual fad that has caused many dudes to have lose their man card. The second feature film from Mary Harron (her debut was the fantastic I SHOT ANDY WARHOL). She does a very good job of adapting the controversial novel of the same name.
Christian Bale stars as a reserved rich kid who's has a do nothing job in his father's company. He spends his days doodling and hanging with his co-workers. His nights are spent expressing his unusual dark side. Just how whacked and crazy does he get? That would be too telling. Trust me, pick up a copy of American PSYCHO, you wont be disappointed. I guarantee it! Co-stars Reese Witherspoon, Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, Jared Leto and co-writer Guinevere Turner.
Highly recommended.
