An excellent work

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2006)

I saw "American Psycho" for the first time when I was younger. I didn't think to highly of it then, and I now know the reason. When I was younger, I could not understand the complexity of this movie, and the character "Patrick Bateman." And now, after seeing it again recently, I can truly appreciate this movie for the work of art it is. There is so much more to be read between the lines in this movie then in most others, it's one of those movies you can see 100 times, and still find something new that you missed every other time, and enjoy it all the more. Bale plays his role so well I think, I have read the book, and I think that he is perfect for the character. Though the book is MUCH more graphic, I think the lack of graphic violence in this movie actually goes in favor of it. It allows us to focus on the other things one could so easily pass up. If you have not seen this movie, you must go rent it, especially if you are somebody who enjoys GOOD MOVIES. not your average Vin Diesel flick. The eccentric character of Patrick Bateman is what this movie is about. It is the only "horror" movie I can look back on, and say, I have never laughed so hard from this, and not in a cheesy way, in a very good way. GO SEE THIS MOVIE
