A mirror Image

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2006)

Take a deep Breath and then open your eyes, Take a ride through this mind-trip into Modern day high society and into the mind of a maniac disguised in a Gucci suit and armani tie. This Film at very minimum is captivating and intensely intriguing, the ideas that are translated are beautiful and strong , be they a little disturbing. I have to say that the film is underrated , it was a success but not on the level that it clearly stands, this should have been a huge blockbuster. The acting in the film is excellent, Christian Bale is a superb actor thats unquestionable, but in American Psycho he truly delivers a portrait and his acting is 2nd to none. The direction , after reading the book, ventures somewhat-less, obviously to make the film shorter, I mean for those who have read the book ,will know that its quite graphic , the sub stories if you like are venturing on the sick side, the film however is far less daring . with that mentioned i will insist Both are excellent.
Ill leave it to you to choose medium and ill just add If you really watch, when you watch this film you'll find a piece of yourself in Patrick bateman. and that will scare you ....
