Huge disappointment basically

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 2001)

I was really looking forward to "American Psycho", but it didn't live up to its hype. True, it was well-directed and superbly-acted, but overall it was flat, boring, and only had a few scenes that were enjoyable to watch. Everything else in the film was really silly, including Bateman describing to us what he showers with and how he puts all this face wash junk on his face, and there are always the long, boring scenes of Bateman with his snobby friends. This was really dull overall. Reese Witherspoon was good but should've been in the film more. The one standout scene takes place well into the film, and it involves closets and rooms full of dead bodies, a screaming prostitute, and a nude, snarling, chainsaw-wielding Bateman---the only exciting scene pretty much in the whole film.
